A good Wife & Health, is a Man’s best Wealth: Benjamin Franklin

A good Wife & Health, is a Man’s best Wealth.  Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin

I’m a wealthy man!

I spent 32 years of my life single, waiting for Liz to find me.  Finally she did, and the years since have been awesome!

I’ve been blessed with good health throughout my life.  The old saying about not appreciating things until they’re gone is so applicable with health issues.  Earlier this year, I started getting an irritating rash on my chest.  It turns out — I had shingles.  If you’ve ever had shingles, you can sympathize with me.  It was perhaps the most painful episode of my life.

But now, I’m healthy, I’ve got a great wife, and beautiful kids.  Even a dog!  Yes, I’m wealthy!

And this wealth has nothing to do with money.  🙂
