Thank you for revealing your soul and hard times. That IS the real American can-do spirit! Some great street philosopher once said. "What does NOT kill you makes you STRONGER". It seems like you lived that idea. Some weight lifters say, "no pain, no gain". Not sure if I ever believed that, but it has SOME truth. A person NEEDS the level of STRESS that motivates (not overcomes) them.
