We truly are the sum of all of our life experiences. So, let me pose a question.
Without the experiences many have described, or that many have thought about based on this thread but chose not to post, do you think that you would be the person you are today? Do you think you would be as appreciative of your life as it is now?
I fear that I would not be. So, I think those rough times were worth the price.
I am by no means rich, except in that I have family and friends that I wouldn't trade for anything.
