Here's a joke for you:
One summer day, two friends decided to go for a walk to catch up on things. After about an hour,
the first guy says , "I'm tired and thirsty. I must have wine."
The second guy responds, "I'm tired and thirsty. I must have diabetes."
Who here is like the second guy? Is WebMD the most frequently visited website in your household? If so, you'll notice that symptoms for virtually every ailment are similar. Sweating, being tired, headaches, nausea etc...... An effective hypochondriac can make a case for having something wrong at any given time. Just ask, hypochondriac hall of famer Woody Allen. Surely there can't always be something wrong you say.....What brings me down to reality you ask? I've started thinking about the days of hunting and gathering. As a man, I'd be responsible for bringing home the days meal. Who would have time to think what an idle ache or pain can mean. So I've now become a daily "hunter" in my mind. Oh but their life spans were much shorter....Oh forget it -and with that I say, enjoy the day and don't forget to stop and smell the roses (or coffee)
