different type of christmas letter

we recently got a christmas card from an old co-worker of my dad, a surgeon attached to a marine unit. the front said holiday greetings from kuwait. inside, she wrote about living in barracks, doing surgery in a tent, and 140 degree weather. the thing that stuck out to me was this sentence, which was her justification for why that wasn't bad: "at least no one is shooting at us now".

really makes you think. and puts your problems into perspective.
