Matt, Ive also had to re-evaluate my scale of 1-10 that I used.......

A normal person's 1-10 scale (you know, "How's your day going on a scale of 1-10?") would be a 1 if their mother just passed and a 10 if they got a chance to spend some extra time in a warm bath.

My day was a 1 if I went out to get in the car and a tire was flat and a 10 if the Judge let me off on a DUI and I stopped at the strip bar with a $100.00 bill I found to celebrate.

My "frame of reference" was extremely distorted and perverted, you know what I'm saying??

I had to begin to appreciate the simple, little things ... the everyday gifts that God gives us. I had to begin to see the glass half full rather than half empty.

Best wishes to you Matt, stay dry and on the path to recovery.
