I'll always listen

"Never tell your problems to anyone...20% don't care and the other 80% are glad you have them. "
Lou Holtz

Sometimes it is good to be in the 80%. When it seems like your problems are insurmountable along comes someone with problems of their own. I think occasionally it is good to hear the problems others have. Not so much to be glad they have those problems but to recognize how good our own lives are. We have to look for happiness in the life we have and not imagine that everyone else's life is better than ours. Knowing that many others would take my life and think they had made a vast improvement on their own fortunes has been helpful these last months.

My life is good!

That said, I am out to the golf course. Enjoy your life today and tell someone you love them.

As always, you think things through well. Your friendship is one of those things that make my life better, and I am thankful for you! You remain in my thoughts and prayers.
Loving you!

Bravo on the positive outlook. If only we could all think that way! We are so blessed to have good friends and loving families to help us weather the storms that enter our lives. Sometimes the storms are just cloudbursts and other times they are category 5 hurricanes. We are a resilient lot we humans-and you have faced a cat 5 hurricane with grace and fortitude and are rebuilding, one day at a time. I feel blessed to have you in my life and you are never far in my thoughts and prayers.
