I agree completely, the good humans comment. So many deal with things badly, meaning they allow the way the deal with things to affect other aspects of their own life or other people, negatively. That, good demeanour you mention is a better way to go than becoming bitter and twisted with a bad attitude. It's not always easy though, sometimes challenge and adversity has a way of twisting us.
For me? Well, I like to think I deal with things well although there's times when I do not. I suffer from the same condition as others, being human.
Thanks for your comments and compliment. I also hope to have the build done soon and I'll get a proper post done in the Lego community along the way.
