Gimp said it best - all things being equal - this is life as we know it we have to take the good with the bad and work through it. No ones perfect and we all make mistakes as we go through life.

I've made my share and I can't change only hope that I've learned from those issues that caused me regret.

No apologies are needed - rather its good to see you are man enough to recognize these things rather than have someone else (maybe a friend) tell you.

I've been a loner most of my life - no real friends just associates or one day visits. I have one true friend and that is my family and really that's all I need to make it through each day.

I should say I have two friends I have you guys on this site to help me see and learn from similar experiences.

I had a dream (sound familiar) I really have a good idea, which may result in dollars but I'm not sure how to go about it. I may need to talk with someone about how to patten an idea - with little funds to support it. Another challenge late in my years and thats all I need. So simple is this idea that it blows my mind that no one ever thought of it.

Its so early in the morning that I"ve seen the sun come up again and I always enjoy that moment when it breaks through.

Mort - think of a sunrise - think positive thoughts - think of the first time you looked into one of your kids eye's when they were first born - think of the days when those who are gone used to make you laugh and appreciate the moment. Life is so fleeting that we have to reflect on those good times and draw all the emotions from those experiences to get us by.

I wish you well Mort and your family and I hope your Holidays this Season are good ones.

Your Friend,
