Lucky Man

I was a 'have' and became a 'have-not', largely through no fault of my own. At first, it was devastating. Then I discovered, what I had came at a very high cost. As I adjusted to the idea of lower purchasing power I became aware of its cost. I think it is referred to as a silver lining. Now, through a fault of my own, I have what I want and working hard to pay its cost is my joy. I am a lucky man.
