I try not to do the "why me? whine" either. Everyone has their issues. The older we get, the more likely it is that we lived some kind of trauma, whether a one-time event or ongoing pain. Last week's migraine went for 5 days, and I barfed blood on the 4th. Definitely not a good thing, and I went to the doctor Monday. Seems I ruptured a blood vessel from too much upchuck. And now I'm fine, and life is fine. You do what ya gotta do and go on. At least I'm grateful that I have good days in between the crappy ones.

Dancer, my life has changed a lot since my 20's. Our past of course influences how we arrived at the places leading to today, but I don't define myself by yesterday.

I look forward, and I see the Path.
