I know exactly what you mean Equus! If this "problem" had not happened, who knows how many years I would have continued just *existing* on this earth. I have learned the difference between that and *living* and, strange as it may seem, I am glad that all this has happened to me. My eyes are now wide open and I am determined to make the best of this one life, this one chance. I am no longer trying to make things the way I want them, but rather taking whatever comes and making the most of it! I see each day as a wonderful gift, and even when it brings pain, I know that it is only an opportunity to learn more. Some days I have to really remind myself of this. Thank you for reminding me today.
