Sophie the Pearl

I am scared to death of...

the federal government
my own ever-increasing debt
loneliness, or rather, ending up all alone
slipping into some kind of dementia when I get old
losing the use of my limbs, eyesight or hearing
hurting people unwittingly
panic attacks (is this irony?)

I am blessed with...

living in the USA
a few really good friends
relatively good health
my Power Mac Pro
my job, even if it sucks (Hey! A lot of people are getting laid off!)
my sister, who is willing to help me out of a financial jam (within reason)
Cody, who is a pretty terrific son
lots of life lessons that didn't kill me
my Jeep that still runs after 13 years
a background that provided me with good sense of right and wrong
enough sense to be grateful for what I have!

So far my Blessings List is longer than my Fears List. Who can ask for more?
