Thanks, Nolan.

Did you ever notice how the world just happens to some of us, and then we wonder why?

Why did life send me winging off into so many interesting nooks and crannies around the globe, instead of chaining me to a cubicle to spend my life reviewing stacks of Form 73509-C Rev.3.7 and filing them?

Some say I was lucky; others say I was condemned. I say I would do it all over again in a heartbeat, but maybe take a better multi vitamin supplement just to be on the safe side.

Hello Nolan. You are such a considerate and thoughtful writer--that is what speaks the loudest to me when reading your essay. Thank you for that kindness. Sorry to hear about your break. It tenderizes our hearts, I think--the pain--and can make our hearts kinder toward one another...which you are clearly doing through your writing and experiencing of the world.

Looking forward to more of your wise and warm writing!
