> You know what happened today? I woke up, and I was HAPPY. For the first time in weeks, I was not depressed. I sang My Sharona without screwing up the words. That was a really nice change. I love everything!

I woke up happy this morning. At my age, just waking up is enough. I got my glasses and my eyes started working, so that made me even happier. So I thought, "What the heck, let's see if the legs still work." I stood up and they worked. More happy.

One of the first things I do is check my blood sugar and it was 115, up from 106 yesterday, but still quite low, so that made me even happier.

After that, my day went down hill for a while, but it is now 7:43 p.m. and I am still walking, seeing, and breathing. My ears ring a little, but they have done that for years, and I have adjusted to it. Frankly, sometimes I am happy to hear anything at all. So many people in my age group can't hear thunder.

The reason for the downturn in my day this morning was that I had to go see a doctor. People my age do that a lot, and I always feel lucky when he doesn't say, "You are about to croak," or "We need to cut you open," or "Here is another list of things you have to do without." So I am happy that I didn't hear any of that stuff.

I guess at any age, you have to be positive and learn to roll with the punches. That has gotten me through some rough times. Some of the roughest were when I was your age, or younger. But I'm still here, and happy.
