Yet I feel nothing more than a passing whim to attain the material things so many other people have.My 1999 car shows the wear and tear of 105000 miles.But it is still dependable.My apartment is modest,but quiet and relaxing.My clothes are well suited to my work,which is primaring outdoors.My minimal computer needs can be met at the library.
In spite of what I don't have,I don't feel poor.Why?I've enjoyed exceptionally good health for 53 years.It's not just that I've been illness-free,it's that I feel vigorous and spirited.Exercising is actually fun for me.I look forward to long,energizing walks.And I love the "can do" attitude that follows.
