I still live decently, despite it all.

Ah, yes, I learn to live in the world no matter what. Oil spills. Terrorists and 9/11. George Bush. Republicans. Another losing season for the Chicago Cubs. A collapse of the economy. The death of friends. But hey, I'm still around. I wake up every morning. And remind myself that I'm in love. That I'm gonna travel to exotic places this summer. That I'm still capable of exercising. Mentally and physically. So, I really have nothing to complain about. I can still live a decent life. No matter what's happening on planet Earth. --Jim Broede
