Not in a 'fatalistic' way, but I'm already used to making choices to do what I can in spite of those things that make life very difficult. Illness also diminishes ego; my perspective's been fundamentally altered by having to maintain some measure of equanimity in the face of death, and other things are easier to deal with. Not easy, by any means...but I can see the sunlight of honourable behaviour on the other side of the rain. Does that make sense?<br /><br />Thank you so much for the prayers, and I am passing you love on tothe dogs!Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13230537202427640540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4095822388315899381.post-25834803616191971902015-10-30T12:09:12.016-07:002015-10-30T12:09:12.016-07:00Sending a smile your way today, and a thank you fo...Sending a smile your way today, and a thank you for being here.
