I consider myself very lucky

Lucky is such a sticky term. To some, it may mean that they won the lottery, or landed an attractive girl friend. To me, it rings true that I am lucky to have a great support system in not only my family, but my inlaws as well. In addition to that, I am lucky to be able to work full time, while also being a proud father to my 22 month old son, and a good husband to my wife.

Why don't I just take these things for granted like so many other people in this country? Because, I have schizophrenia. And even if I did not have the debilitating disease, I would still stop and make sure that the people who are important in my life are recognized as such. This is what is important to me. How about in your life?

I also must recognize some of my close friends and co-workers that have helped me through a lot of horrible times. Thank you.

I could not do it alone, I know that. But without my calm demeanor, my strong rational mind and strong will.
