not the end of the world

I have always feared feeling sorry for myself.  I have been told by parents and doctors alike never let yourself feel self-pity.  Now I wouldn't recommend self-pity every day.  But today I felt a lot sorry for myself.  Do you know what happenened?  Nothing absolutely positively nothing.  I expected the world would end but it didn't.  So now I will pick up and start my life over again tomorrow.
