Hi!

I've had more than one close up with the grim reaper. But I'm still here. Strangely, I'm not only here, but feel the best I have ever felt. In my 60s! With 2 replacement parts in my heart! With no functioning spleen!

Even stranger, I do not fear death. Or maybe a little. Maybe.

I don't know why. I feel that I've had many good years. Yes, I remember bad times and struggles, but my perspective says that, overall, what I've had was really good.

And what I have now is really good. That's true even if I end up not having it much longer.

Stephanie, I don't have any wisdom to offer. You are as wise or wiser than I am. Still, I think you might enjoy and get something from this piece I wrote a few months back called The Living Room. (I’m looking for the link now! I’ll put it here when/if I locate it!)

Ah! It’s HERE!
