How screwed up Medicare is

Dear Zack,

This is strange...but it is Iowa.

Until 2010, I had always lived within 50 miles of the ocean, and there in the heartland (which I loved very much) I still felt almost like I could not breathe.

I worked to condition my mind and it got better. But then July 2015 when I got to California Bodega Bay...it was the most wonderful feeling of the freedom sea air, I was in tears.

I understand now how everything in the world  is related and dependent upon each other, even people..

When I figured that out, it helped me make better decisions that were more productive and meaningful, especially concerning my and my children's present and  future.

Letting go of things that I have no control over.

Forgiveness.

This journey so called Life.

I have to agree with Skunky on this one !

Among other things, I would have to say my dogs' diet and how much it can effect their health.

Yes i cant control this wacky world nor do i want to

Everything

Myself

Americans! Being able to interact -- both here and on Ask -- with so many ordinary Americans has helped me to understand them in real terms.

Five years ago I couldn't even tell a.donkey from an elephant. :-/

How knowledge and philosophy can greatly synergize the quality of anyone's life.

All Life.

I wasn't very old 10 years ago, so basically everything.  Except that food is amazing.  I've always understood that food is amazing.
