Despite

What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year?

Despite the chaos that is this country that we live, there have been some resounding positives.

I have mixed feelings talking about such as many people are struggling. I realize I am the right demographic. That saddens me.

I did drop twenty pounds this year and it is something I am quite proud. It wasn’t all that difficult.

I also no longer toil in our capitalistic system. Retirement so far has been enjoyable and stress free.

When Maslow designed his hierarchy of needs, in my opinion, he left out one thing. One must have hope to move forward. And I still have hope we can do better.

    Thank you for sharing such an honest and uplifting reflection.
    Your ability to acknowledge both personal blessings and the struggles around you shows real depth and compassion.

    Congratulations on your weight-loss achievement and on embracing a peaceful, fulfilling retirement — those are meaningful milestones. And your final thought about hope is powerful; it’s a reminder we all need.

    A beautifully grounded and inspiring share.

I would love to hear you opinion as well

His friends observe Mark seems wired a little differently. Perhaps it’s more likely that noticing little things often missed by others is a relic of a quieter, simpler time. He has a way with words, which he refuses to let be hindered by sub-par typing skills. People have great stories to tell if you sit and listen.

A belief dear to Mark is that there is certain beauty in the world. You simply have to look for it.
