Welcome to the Community About Nothing, and Yet Everything.
The attitude of gratitude is something more folks should adopt. Rather than being grateful for our blessings, far too many among us are stuck in the bitter dissatisfaction of entitlement.
If I have a home to live in, food to eat, and a job to go to that continues that trend, I have all I need. The rest are luxuries, as I see it.
Thankful for the moment, thankful for the blessings of, frankly, excess.
I am supremely grateful for my wife and my family and extended family. God blessed me with a woman I could never deserve. I am exceptionally grateful for that.
May God continue to bless each and every one of you. Happy Thanksgiving.

Why do I like this one? I have a primary residence on the Mountain of Right.
Of you who read my previous post, how many of you caught the quote I stole from a movie? Can you name the movie and who said it?
Bet you didn’t know there would be a test…..
So, I have completed 4 of 6 chemo infusions, and I have to say that the last one seems to have caused almost no side effects that cannot be otherwise explained by the disease itself. I remain exhausted all the time, and I go home at the end of the workday positively depleted. That, however, seems to be due to the anemia that somewhat existed before chemo started but certainly seems to have been exacerbated by it.
I presently sit at a 40% disability rating with the Veterans Administration with some big stuff pending. I am awaiting a decision on my hearing loss and the PTSD/Depression. The cancer aspect takes a step forward with an exam by a VA contracted provider who will provide a recommendation as to the service connection to the cancer. If it goes my way and I get to 100%, then as soon as the first check hits the bank, I’m retired. While this exam is scheduled for Monday, I have no assurance that a VA determination will be quickly forthcoming. Patience is the key.
My spirits ...
