Wow. That was intense, and true. We have to appreciate what we have and where we are, because it will all be gone eventually.

I have had, and I have lost many times. One thing I never lost was my ability to joke when I hit bottom.

Mmm the religious terms lost me, I feel gratitude for my life and some of the awesome people in it; even on here. Better people than I have been lost at younger ages, I hope to keep improving, living, loving and waffling for some time to come

Yeah, that's about the size of it. Not sure if it's transfigured my life in to an altar or just a smoldering fire pit ... but it's true.
