My primary struggles have been of the spiritual/religious type. It has taken me over 60 years to come to grips with that struggle. I have reached a place where I no longer struggle with who I am and am satisfied and at ease with the fact that the older I become, the less I know for certain. Amazingly, I am at peace with that. It doesn't mean that I don't continue to search, through reading and other media for answers or for things to think about concerning this life I lead, but I am happy. <br /><br />As an aside, I watched "Aerial America" the other night on the Smithsonian Channel. (It is a program which takes you on an aerial tour of a state). Tennessee was the subject. I spent some time on Chattanooga, and I thought fondlly of you and even looked for you as it showed close-ups of the streets and highways! I hope you are well. Maybe someday we will have the opportunity to meet face-to-face.
