A bumpy road

[Steppingfeet]

I'm glad that phase is over.  I'm doing much better in life nowadays.  Doing a lot of trombone playing in community bands and even some trombone teaching.  There's a lot to be grateful for in my life.  Every day is a gift to be appreciated.

Thank you, Jerry, for sharing your experience in shelters. It is a world very foreign to me, and I appreciate the window into it. I'm glad to know that there was aid and comfort available to you in those circumstances. Thank you for the book recommendation as well. I've been drawn to stories of people overcoming impossible odds through dogged use of the will, and have added it to my To Read list.
