Life’s good, I am 61 years young, and still able to do most of the thing I did at 31, Although I now take med to control my blood pressure, and have to watch what I eat, I feel good about aging, it is indeed a blessing…
I am semi-retired so I am able to spend more time with family (if I want) I live in South Florida so I can enjoy the life without the all expenses (when-ever I want). I know I am blessed, I’m not rich never wanted to be; but I am thanking God the for what I have, also for what I don’t have.
So many time we get caught up in the turmoil’s of life we forget to live, forget to love, forget to enjoy each other, forget to laugh, that’s not living that is existing.. I say this because not long ago that was me. But I’ve learned if I can’t control it, let it go, and let God perform his miracles. In today’s society we need miracle more than ever before, this world as is changing, and changing fast…
Gpeaches:
Thank you for your post. I am 52 years old, recently separated, fit, healthy, and learning to let go of things I have no control over. Like a failed marriage, my ex, the adult kids and so on.
I have many good years of living left and I am truly blessed. Like you I am not rich, I will have to work till age 65 to be able to retire comfortably. I am happy and content with what I have. God has been good to me.
Your post reminds me not to feel sorry for myself.
Thank you for posting this. I really needed to hear, read and say those words out loud.
I have stop living, stop loving myself, enjoying those around me, I have stop laughing, and you’re right I am not living I am existing…
I praying and giving thanks to God for all I have and don’t have. There are a lot of people with sickness, problems and issues that they did not want. Thank God I am now being to live again.

Thank you ladies, it’s good to share life experiences with others, sometime they can be of help to someone else, God bless…
It certainly happens quickly when one watches the news or reads the paper, the old negativity intrudes and shoots the good mood right out the window. I have learned to put up a visual ‘stop’ sign when I feel this happening. There is always so much good to focus on, so much natural beauty, so many caring people in our world. I am learning that it is my choice to think positive. What a wonderful world if we would all share a smile and a kind word today, as for some, that may be all the goodness they will see.
