<p>[QUOTE="Sam Stone, post: 4223895, member: 110020"]Very thoughtful and of course appreciated. If I'm totally honest with myself I know I still have to overcome that tiny bit of ego I've been clinging to. Plus, my wife makes just enough money to disqualify us from any meaningful financial support but certainly not enough to maintain our previous life style. Our number one priority is to hold onto the house we built 18 years ago. It's the only home our son remembers. We have learned how to better prioritize needs vs wants and believe it or not, we're probably as happy as when I was still able to work. Overall stress is likely the same level, we just switched some if the old ones for new ones. Lastly, by now you must have seen the stubborn streak I have and I am determined to get back into the workforce. I'm a terrible employee, so I will have to build a smaller company than we had before of some sort, or I may return to ministry or music. I haven't been exaggerating at all when I keep saying that collecting has provided me with a formidable challenge and I enjoy it enough I have been able to apply myself more than I have in years. I know a lot of people who would probably get hooked on it as well if they just looked at it. You guys have admirable and necessary skill sets such as a greater than average intellect, organizational skills, patience, scrutiny, discernment, and much more. The greatest of these is charity and I see an overabundance of that in everyone's willingness to share their knowledge. For me, I believe if I follow the path God has paid out in front of me, I can learn and grow as I have been through this forum. Most importantly, as long as I give all that is required of me, He has promised over and over in the Bible that we will be ok. I'm not trying to preach or push anyone into Christianity. These are my beliefs, and as such I continue to see obvious signs that finding the interest in collecting and coming to this forum was and is a gift. I can enjoy more if life, strengthen my faith and resolve, and learn to be a better person watching you guys.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once again, I talk too much, but this too is an indication I am improving. Thanks to you guys. And thanks again for your concern. I will respect it. You may have helped me cross that line I mentioned about letting go of pride. All thanks to Cointalk and the great people here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
