Thanks for those kind and extremely wise words. I appreciate it.

I will be alone this Christmas but am not feeling bad about it.

My philosophy about everything is . . . "could be worse but isn't worse, thank God." I look at my past, present and future this way and at people, things and events.

Whatever is happening in my life could be worse but isn't, thank goodness. And whatever will happen in my future life could be worse but won't be. This gets me through the hard times.

I think you are a very wise person.
