I have been breathing on this planet for more than 51 years now, and upon reflection, I realize how truly blessed and fortunate I have been and still am.
I use the word fortunate as opposed to luck as luck implies gambling..esp in our world. No CG in the end is ever lucky and we all know it is just a matter of time until we lose.
While I have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars, other notable assets, my first marriage, many friends and relatives, business opportunities and time..I can’t believe that I am not out on the street without a penny to my name by now.
I have my parents to thank for taking care of me well beyond the time they should, the security and comfort of close friends and family and a fairly decent education that allowed me to have an above average job and earnings. I also realize that many other CGs may not have been as fortunate.
So long story short, I want to make up for lost time, and as I said in an earlier post, I feel like I am 51 going on 21. Both in a good and bad way I suppose, but I choose to think of my glass as half full..
