Hey there, folks! I hope you're all enjoying your weekends! Just stopped in to say hello and to try to catch up on how everyone's doing while trying to get caught up on cleaning a bit. Which, so far, has meant coming home from the grocery and sitting down. Oh, and grabbing a beer on the way. I'm making swift progress and expect the house will look new in no time!
ZenWan: Hi akhliber, I noticed, quite by chance, that my response to your post was missing, hungry bear passed by, I guess. I copied it in again - see below. And while I've got you, please pass on a big love to Sarge.
ZenWan: <smiling>
You inspire by your attitude, by your ability to remain positive even with all the problems you face, which are huge. You don't even see that you do it, it's just how you are. :-D
If I can find even a fraction of your courage and optimism, I'll do fine.
No health problems, fortunately. My physical health is very good. Slowly losing my mind with all the stress here, but that's another matter. ;-)
'What have I always believed?
That on the whole, and by and large, if a person lived properly, not according to what any priests said, but according to what seemed decent and honest inside, then it would, at the end, more or less, turn out all right.'
Terry Pratchett
Pretty much what I've always believed, I really hope it's true....
I really appreciate your kind words! This really made me smile. You're certainly right in that I don't see it, I just see that I'm quite simple and very easily distracted and entertained, so it's nice to know I've left a positive impression. :)
I'll send some love Sarge's way for you. He's got a new bed (after having chewed through two in a day) and he's excitedly jumping onto it from the couch repeatedly. I think he has aspirations of being a stunt dog.
I like that Pratchett quote. I figure it can't be far from the truth of things. :)
