I sincerely hope you haven't suggested my path in my life has been a straight line or easy! I didn't get what I wanted. I am a product of my upbringing, my education, and my life experiences. I didn't get what I wanted, but have managed to make myself a better and stronger person in the end, who has been fortunate in experiencing far more than I ever thought was possible. I have sustained more pain, more grief, more disappointment than I ever thought I would encounter, but all this has forced me to be adaptable, willing to make changes, and likewise, willing to fight for what I want and what is right. I have certainly had a lot of disappointment and despair. There have been very troubled relationships with others. I have seen a side of too many others, I did not like to bear witness to, including some family members. Eternal vigilance is the price we pay for liberty, is something Thomas Jefferson is quoted for. Failures are also learning experiences. I think I am a better person, but also a tougher and more resilient person, as result of all the negative things that I have encountered and endured. Life is not easy, but it is still worth living. My words are not intended to be a rant. I have thought about some of what you shared above, and every time I work on a response, I start going down a path I should not go. All I shared in my prior post was not shared as a "Sure Fire" and complete road map to success. I shared some of the things I draw my own inner strength from. I failed to mention one that was rather critical. I was blessed with 3 older, mentor type, trusted friends to help guide me in my life. None of them personally knew any of the others, but they knew of each other. Two are now deceased, while the youngest one still is part of my life. These mentors/trusted friends saw me through some of the most difficult and "dark" times in my life. They also were there for me to share in my excitement and exuberance of my successes and achievements. These men could also be considered surrogate fathers to me. I greatly miss the two who are gone. I cherish the one who is still with us here on earth.

Today's Featured Article - Good As New - by Bill Goodwin. In the summer of 1995, my father, Russ Goodwin, and I acquired the 1945 Farmall B that my grandfather used as an overseer on a farm in Waynesboro, Georgia. After my grandfather’s death in 1955, J.P. Rollins, son of the landowner, used the tractor. In the winter 1985, while in his possession the engine block cracked and was unrepairable. He had told my father
