[Prudence]

I tend to forget just how good I have it. I don't just have a roof over my head, I have a warm home with most of the luxuries of modern life. I have a job that pays more than enough to live on. I have a companion who warms my bed at night and accepts and supports my push to fly ever higher. I have an extended family that's in my corner and accepts unquestioningly that I'll acheive my goals. I have the two best cats in the entire world who accept me into their clan. My belly is full of tasty food and there's more in the fridge. I have a wardrobe full of clothes. I can afford the rising gas prices. I can afford to visit Disney parks twice a year. I'm finally on a solid educational track headed toward a career I might actually enjoy.

And, of course, there's a little place online where I can go to unwind where the atmosphere is swanky and the people pleasantly off-kilter.
