We have our aches, pains, anxieties and depressions....that's why it's all the more important to focus on the good stuff.  I read this article this morning and this forum jumped to mind -well worth reading over a cuppa:

http://time.com/95960/the-way-to-happiness-remember-the-4-ps/

I especially love the quote:

"Happy people do not experience one success after another and unhappy people, one failure after another. Instead, surveys show that happy and unhappy people tend to have had very similar life experiences. The difference is that the average unhappy person spends more than twice as much time thinking about unpleasant events in their lives, while happy people tend to seek and rely upon information that brightens their personal outlook." – Lyubomirsky 1994

Thanks Geordie Girl - will read full article but the quote is very well worth remembering for anxiety-ridden people like me.   It is how we cope with what we get, rather than what we get, that is important.

You are an inspiration.
