Thoughts on Aughts

[howardtayler]

There's an old man who comes to the gym in the mornings. He has a walker with an oxygen bottle, and bears visible scars from open heart surgery and a pacemaker implant. Monday morning I loosened up in the hot tub, and the two of us talked.

I learned that he had his first surgery in early December of 1999. I was reminded of my bout with myocarditis

May the "Tens" bring you boldness, decisiveness and
positive results; good health, warm associations and a heart full of peace!

I've had an amazing decade. There have been both ups and downs, joy and heart ache. Friends and family members have died, others have pulled through terrifying ailments that in an earlier time would have killed them. I've grown, maybe not every day, but every month, every year. And if that weren't enough, I've met you and Sandra too!

Ultimately, time is the one non-renewable resource.

The Aughts...

Great post...the last ten years have been a gift to me and my family too. I know I have used them as best I can and practiced an attitude of gratitude. Your post just reminds me of why this way of looking at the world is so important to me. Thank you again!

Not whining about the aughts,
