Hi David2 and PaulB,

Thanks for the kind words, gentlemen!

And David, I don't see that as courage, although I appreciate the compliment. It's just the stuff of life. I seem to have been blessed with a "Timex" constitution, but it's not from any virtuous quality on my part.

Just as you, and everyone else on this board; something happens and we deal with it simply because we have no other choice.

We play the hand that life deals us, quite simply because we have no other choice.

I will say this however, I learned from Buddhism not to attach to outcomes. That way, you are never disappointed, whatever the outcome might be. When you learn to condition your thoughts that way, it all becomes good.
