So here we are, all shiny and new. Wonder what this one will bring?
Minuses: I'm disabled, depressed, broke, in pain, and living in a board-and-care will where all the others are thirty to forty years my senior.
Pluses: I have good old friends and have made good new ones, I'm still able to get out to the library and church and to do volunteer work on my computer. I can read good books and have long conversations and feed a stray cat in the back yard.
I had the stray cat spayed and made friends with and found homes for her kittens.
So far I think the pluses have it.
