Wow... what a special treat to see so many folks chimming in with me here. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and ideas about survival. I think everyone agrees that it is important to acknowledge ourselves for making it this far. And even taking it one step further and congratulating ourselves for coming out of tragedy and struggle with greater understanding that then becomes wisdom.

Good on everyone this fine day....

Hey... that got posted too fast... I used the open post thingy at the bottom rather than a reply button... didn't let me add some smilies to reinforce my 'congrats'.... so here ya go.... congrates everyone for making it this far in life....
