I'm Still Here...Sort of

My last post was 3 and a half years ago.   I went through a lot of changes as people almost always do.
As I type to you now my friends I am a quite different person.  I hope a better person.  I think most of us remain basically the same.  Just to reach the age of 69 and a half....  that in and of itself is a pretty
good chunk a pie.  Then add to that,  I was a suburban kid with parents that stayed together 50 years.
Now my wife and I are 31 years married. When I got cancer she saved my life.   I've never known not knowing when or where my next meal was to be.  Or where I might sleep.  When I was a kid,  we were not rich,  but my dad worked every day.  Middle class.  Nobody in my family hardly suffered,  nor my brothers and sister.  Christmas trees.  Clothes for Christmas for school.  I always had shoes.  Not the ones I wanted.  I was not spoiled.  I happened to live in a land where it is possible to be spoiled.  My whole life and having a great life is because I was simply lucky.  My DNA and timing in space/time simply gave me an easy life.  You would think I should be thanking and celebrating every day.  More and more I try to do just that.   It is a pleasure and a privilege to be posting this post.  My dear friends and readers I wish you a wonderful Solstice,  Advent,  Xmas Eve,  Xmas Day,  New Years Eve,  New years Day,   the Twelve Days,  Twelfth night,  I'm hoping to post a little more often.  So I'll talk to you soon.  Thank you.
