I was sitting here in a New Westminster park a little while ago, listening to playlists on Songza. I am nothing if not appreciative of how my life has turned out. I was sitting on the green grass under the trees near an urban stream. It was not even 4:00 pm and as I crossed the major commuter route on the way back to my apartment building, I saw a huge line of traffic on the way back from work. I will put in a fulfilling 12-hour teaching week. Who am I to complain? I have what I need, if not most that I want. I've also got what seems, to me, to be a lot of cash in the bank. Additionally, I am in a great, 28-year relationship Lastly, I live in a progressive, beautiful, and fair place.
Really, I could not complain even if I were the kind to do so.
