NFT: Perspective

I watched the game Monday from a motel in Sebring FL while on my way back to Key West. I evacuated a week ago Saturday at 1 am. Originally I intended to ride the storm out in a big hotel but after seeing Irma slide west toward Key West I figured my house and boat were gone, I might as well save my truck. I drove home through the keys yesterday looking at the devastation in the middle keys. Marathon, Big Pine and Summerland Keys got crushed! I have a friend in Summerland, he got wiped out. 5 ft of water through his house, boat sank and truck damaged. I got home midday and other than leaves and branches and a couple old fences at some rental properties, I had no damage. I am amazed. Eye passed about 30 miles east of KW so we were on the "better" side of the storm. Just 30 miles made the difference between losing it all or being OK. When I left I believed the life I've spent the last 36 years building was going to be wiped away in the blink of an eye. Yes I have insurance, but at almost 61 yrs old, I don't know if I'd have it in me to start over. I still have some straightening up to do, but I have power, water, TV and obviously, internet. I've always appreciated how lucky I've been to live in Key west, let alone to be able to make a living in taking people fishing. How tremendously fortunate I am to have survived this storm at all, let alone with virtually no damage is not lost on me. I want the Giants to win, I hope they have a good season, but whether they win or lose, life must go on. As a fan, it's just a game.
Always be thankful for what you have. I know I am
Just thought I'd throw that out there
