"I'm Happy For You (Sort of ...Not Really) is an amazing book by Kay Wills Wyma. Kay writes about how to cope in a world full of comparison and longings to look like, be like, or have what our neighbors have.
I found myself in many of the examples that Kay and her life have. I know when a friend of ours built their new home, I was happy for them, but so angry it wasn't my home. The same thing happens when the boys are in school. I find myself making sure the boys wear exactly what all the other kids are wearing , even though mine had rather have the off brand shoes with those silly lights on the sides, I insist they get the one's all the popular kids are wearing and at quite a lot more money.
