I'm a firm believer in the 90/10 rule. But I'm sure that Mr.'s Covey and Swindoll might concede that in Africa , it's the 40/60 rule.
Let me tell you about the last five days I've been at work:
Wednesday: No running water, internet problems
Thursday: No running water, no drinking water, internet problems
Friday: Little drinking water, bad food, internet problems
Monday: No drinking water, no power, internet problems
Tuesday: No power, no drinking water, no power, bad food, internet problems
And this is not an uncommon work-week (and I only mention Internet because I need it to do most of my work).
Now I might sound like I'm spoiled stiff, and that 10 months in Kenya
But.
I offer this as a reminder that although things might be rough wherever you are in the world:
It always could be worse.
My heart goes out to those people.

So this is actually a comment about the This Old House post. Once in China I they were demolishing a big concrete road barrier the same way. Took them FOREVER by our standards (although, actually much quicker that I would have thought). And there were women pulling out the old rebar to sell and. Anyways, thanks for that post and today's post and the 28 days post...I just had a crappy day and was sitting here feeling mopey. I seriously need to get over myself.
And sorry about the rebar comment that just ended mid-sentence. That is why you proofread before you hit publish, not after.
