Don't feel too guilty, it can change in the blink of an eye.

Why, Lord, am I so blessed?

When I was a kid, just home from the service, I suffered for years with "survivor's guilt.........." It took a hundred thousand bottles of beer and several hundred fifths of old Black Jack, a good counselor or two, and a great woman, to straighten me out.......
I swear to God I'm getting it again. How can I be this happy in a world so shot full of pain and suffering. I don't deserve it; hell, I never did......

I never went to war and I really respect those of you who did. My father was in the St Johns Ambulance in the last one and my mothers' uncle was in a the first and second wars and the Spanish civil war in between.
I am blessed too with having met a great girl, even though my best friend told me to get rid of her as she was too quiet. My mum didn't like her either, ah well 24 years and counting..Only a saint could put up with me

Sometimes you have to stop trying to make sense out of everything. It is way beyond our comprehension. Give yourself a break, thank God for what you have and enjoy life!
Besides, I know you don't have it all THAT great. After all, you are having to suffer through riding that ST instead of a GW...
Safe and happy riding!

If, on the road of life, Wexy appears in front of you, my recommendation is to "Run his A** Over". :cheeky1::cheeky1:
I can only say that because he and I are good friends, too; well, we were, until a moment ago!
I don't know that anything in life is truly about "those who do the right thing get rewarded" but, in terms of you, my friend, I suspect that your red-haired co-pilot through life would agree that you give a lot of pleasure to a lot of people, so....you are "doing something right"....ok? :waving:

I used to think the same kind of things, after I got saved, and the best answer I ever heard was that if I hadn't gone through all things I did, I wouldn't be in the place I am.

And I may have mis-read your initial post. I read it as if you were having those guilt feelings come up again from coming home from the war, doing well and being happy. The intent of my reply was only to to encourage you to move on and enjoy life.
From reading through many of your posts, it sounds like you have paid your dues. Given that fact and given you still have those feelings of being un-deserving speaks volumes to your character.
So good for you!

Cousin Jack, I hope my post didn't come across like that. Sometimes in these short and sweet reply's, the real message doesn't always come through.
