Hi All,
Today was my very much dreaded 341 hearing. I barely slept, but managed a few hours. When I arrived, I sat in the room waiting for my attorney. He did call me and tell me he was running a bit late. "Great!" I thought. That would give me time to watch others. I watched about 20 cases waiting. Most were all the same thing.
There sat a frail old man, with a cane and braces on both his arms. He wore glasses that were the thickest I have ever seen, and he was attempting to read his paperwork while holding it less than a inch from his nose. He was dressed in rags, but probably the best he had from what I could see. When his attorney arrived I could overhear part of their conversation. This man clearly had lived a rough life, but also had a obvious mental slowness about him. In any case, I felt bad for this man having to go through this. When his turn was call to the Trustee, the man raised his right hand to be sworn in and was visably shaking. I suspect the stress had gotten the better of him this morning. Thankfully the Trustee was very kind and brief with him. But as he left I was reminded of how lucky most of us have it. We may be broke financially, but clearly this man had many other challanges that life had handed to him. He left a impression on me, and I couldnt help but think to myself how very lucky I have been.
Ok, my turn arrives...

That was IT!! While I was answering his questions he wrote a couple things down. I seen him write "NO ASSET" on one document, and he then added my name to a long list of names. I have to assume the list was for those he was finished with. (I pray I am right with this).
Anyhow, I think I am officially in the 60 day club. I also think that what I seen the Trustee write means I will have a positive report when he files his comments.
Anyhow, count our blessings. No matter how rough we think things are for us, there is always someone much worse off.
Good Day Everybody! (sorry this was so long, but I felt there was a message worth telling about that old man)
