    One word: acceptance. It's tough to do, but once you get it your whole outlook on life changes for the better.

    The overload warning triggered on my UPS last night. The good thing is I have a second one.

    Does being upset fix it, help it, make it go away? What good does being upset about it do ? Let go , it's small stuff. It's ALL small stuff. The more stuff you make small the less it bothers you. The one that dies with the smallest stuff , wins :<0)
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    After near-catastrphe with brain disease last year, today I can again walk (with a cane), talk (even though slowly and missing about half my vocabulary) and think (sort of - nothiing like before, no longer the sharpest tack in the box). Bad news - my memory is screwed. Good news - I can't remember who I was mad at. Todays victory - sequentially picked up sticks in the yard, piled them up and then hand-sawed the bigger ones for an hour without falling over or hurting myself. This months victory - I can finally shave myself with a straight razor and return to public places absent worries about risk of infection.

    Things to stew about - zero. Need ways to appreciate the little things? pm me.

    Moo, glad you are thriving again. I waited too long, I was going to write sooner and tell you that I was your long lost brother and try to borrow fifty bucks from you. All of life is really nothing but a lot of small steps strung together. Keep fighting the good fight and as an Admiral said during WW2, Non Carborundum Bastardi.

    Think tea.
