Why so many gloom and doomers on this site
Waiting to retire to do the things in life you have always wanted to do?
Most of my close friend and some relatives never got old enough to draw a social security check...
Waking up with joint pain every morning is something to be grateful for.
I earned every grey hair on my head, and the ones that decided to stick around, I am grateful.
I earned every creaky bone in my body, and even had fun creating them. I am grateful.
I earned every single scar, and even have a story for every one. Just like a fisherman, the stories get better with every retelling. And I am grateful.
I earned the right to tell stupid dad jokes and pull my finger tricks on my son. I am grateful.
Your friends and family who have died can no longer do the things we complain about, but I bet that they are grateful for what they could do, for having you in their lives when they were here with us. They can no longer make new memories with you and they surely have regrets for the things that they never did. Live your life so that you don't have those regrets of shoulda, coulda, wooda.:BangHead:
