Thanks matthew, I certainly didn't mean to come off as self- righteous. God knows I have made my share of mistakes in this life-time. I believe that learning from them is whats makes us better human beings. I am currently going thru an unbeliveable transformation in my self. Acceptance. Not alowing the past to control the present. Getting rid of the anger, resentment, fears, and all the garbage from the past. Knowing and becoming who I really am. Freedom. Not blaming, just accepting. I don't want to bore you with whats happening, but it's the first time in 53 years.
I realize that everything that has happened to me , happened to bring me where I am today. Thats a beautiful thing matthew. A spiritual thing. It gets stronger and stronger everyday. I am sure Danny D. will have something to say about all this. One day, I hope he will have the same type of experience. It is ment for all of us. It is ultimately what we are all here for.
You also seem to be a genuinely good person. I am glad to have met you here.
Best Regards, Don Purdy
