My dad returned from combat in WW2 where 80% of his group were casualties and he expected to die in combat. He said he was amused at the triviality of everyday concerns. &quot;What&#x27;s your problem, you&#x27;re not going to die tomorrow!&quot;<p>And really, if you&#x27;re able-bodied and able-minded and nobody is trying to kill&#x2F;maim&#x2F;imprison you, then life is good. I went to retrieve the mail this morning, and was greeted with a bright blue sky, and an eagle sitting on top of a nearby doug fir tree giving me the eye. Pretty damn awesome to be alive.
