There are many choices in my life that I could have done differently
with an eminently reasonable expectation of better results. For whatever reasons due to nature or
nurture, I was gifted with a huge streak of self-destructive behavior that continues
to manifest itself in my life.
That crap sucks and it would be great if it were different. However, I am blessed to still be alive with
reasonable cognitive ability. I am still
working on making a better life for myself and those around me. That is a lot better than any of the
alternatives.
This topic came to mind (again) with details of the death of the musician
formerly known as Prince. He was my
age, hugely successful and seems to have died from opiate addiction at the age
of 57.
I am grateful to be alive and of sound mind so that I can continue to
work on making a better life for myself and others.
