>I was just thinking of something… last year about this time I wasn’t doing very well.

The day after Valentine’s Day I had been in an accident coming south on 91, I was hit by a gas tanker, 18 wheeler — about 4 in the morning. The car was totaled, I was pretty much too. A few days after the accident all the muscles in my back seized up and I wasn’t overly mobile for the past couple of days. I was just reviewing the days I missed work last year about this time — and it hit me that I didn’t even get a Valentine’s Day last year. I suppose that’s part of the reason I embraced this one so whole-heartedly.

It really makes me thankful that I’m still going… and fairly strong at that. I’m truly happy — I have good people in my life, and as much as anyone may bitch about this job… I love it. I have fun just hanging out, my house is a home, and I am comfortable. There’s a lot to live for, and so much more to come.
