What a great life.
After two weeks of sickness and flu, I finally felt myself turn the corner today. And with it, I felt the return of something much more important than my bodily health. My sense of gratitude. It came flooding back in as I looked at my beautiful son sleeping on the bed, tangled in the covers, his curly hair flouting any sense of order and declaring a sacred sense of disorder all its own.

I have come to realize this by the simple act of possessing large amounts of money. In the grand scheme of things, the money I have had the luxury of possessing isn't even all that large; but compared to how I felt when I was scrambling for resources to sustain myself, now that I have the resource game [...]
