What to do with Problems? A pale sun filters hesitant through a thin layer of November cloud: It’s morning - I’m walking down town; I meet a man I’ve known a while. He carries a host of serious health problems the combination could certainly cut his uncertain hold on life any day. The knowledge does not embitter him; he does not lash out nor seek to blame someone, or something for his many and painful problems. He still enjoys life it would seem, and he does not judge anyone for how they live their share of that life. He still likes watching the day come alive as the sun appears over rocky peaks on a clear morning. What keeps this man from giving up? From saying enough is enough? Is it because he sees his world from a different perspective than most? And I ask myself: what can I learn from this man=s passion for life? Perhaps something as obvious, simple and difficult as this: problems are never solved by running away from them – they must be faced each day head on and each day conquered or allowed to go free so I too may be free. |

Sometimes attitude is everything. The man may outlive all of us. Thank you for telling his story. Ida |
