Nice comment. Well by the time we reach 40 or so it seems that we've all come through some trials that were particularly unbearable while they were going on - and yet, usually we are still here 5 years later. It's the resilience we have. It's a horrible thing to go through the mud of life, but it's quite possible to get through ANYTHING and come out the other end not only happier... but, on top of the game of life. Being on top isn't about success in monetary terms. Wow, there's nobody that is 'there' that really believes that. Money is nice, but no money is nice too. I'm surviving on very little here in Thailand but I'm the happiest I've ever been. Thanks for your comment Tami! Vern Hi Tami! Nice comment.

Let me tell you something... I began this post thinking... yeah, tell me about those people Vern! Halfway through, I found that for the most part, I (not at the TOP yet) have a bigger lead than I thought. Thank you! ... I have come out of the worst year (hands down) of my life (thus far) and yet, I have clarity and optimism. Sometimes, I feel like a kid again, viewing the world with new eyes, more like a wrongly accused prisoner setfree. I am excited everyday about... stuff, nothing specific. Although, I promise, I don't get up earlier than anyone... mainly because I respect sleep. I am way under 50!I guess I learned and grew in the turmoil. I look at myself now (strengths and weakness, no hiding) and look for ways to grow and develop, its all very exciting, scary even, but all the best rollercoasters are right? Its what makes you feel alive... I think I have come to the realization that when I am on TOP and have all the answers, resolved all the issues, and implemented all the plans... I will have nothing left to look forward to... to strive for... what kind of existence will that be? Nah... I'll stay in the learning, growing, forming stages at little longer... maybe forever... Thanks for the mind food! TamiB Hmmmm… very insightful. Let me tell you something… I began this post thinking… yeah, tell me about those people Vern!
