First of all, I want to thank you for starting this thread. Sometimes, it is easy to just focus on the present and and give little if any time to the past and how lucky you are to still be here. At least for me, it's easy to get upset over the day to day stuff, and not realize how lucky I am to still be here and how important it is to make each day count. Like many, I should of been six feet under many years ago. With all the drug and alcohol abuse, it's just amazing I am still functioning. Sometimes I think it's unfair when I've known others' that have lived a better life have more problems than me. This thread helps me to be grateful for each day, cause I really don't deserve it. Really don't understand why I am still here cause I did everything to make sure it did not happen. I'm a lucky guy. John
