Lucky

I look around myself and realize,  sometimes, just how lucky I am.

I am vigorous.  Relatively healthy.  And I have everything i was born with and nothing extra - no new parts added.

Yesterday, I visited a friend in the hospital.  He'd had a knee replacement on Tuesday and yesterday was his day to go home.  I was glad to see him doing so well, but I couldn't help but think, "There but for the grace of God ..."

I may be alone.  I may be somewhat lonely.  But ...

A week from Monday I have an interview scheduled regarding a job.  It won't replace all the income I lost - not even close - but it will be enough.  The thing is - I still CAN work.  And I will.
