live help: once you get old, you realize you have nothing to live for. - Help.com

Who’s fault is that? Give yourself something to live for, God knows there’s alot to choose from.

Well, why would I try that? Stop feeling sorry for yourself and get possitive, at least make the best of a bad situation, you’re not gonna get any happier complaining about it.

well i am all of those and i am only 25 at least you wernt like that all your life like i have to be.

Hey pomblan—Ok, love….you have said what is wrong, now is there some way that I can help you figure out what to do about it and where to start? Please let me know, okay?

25 isn’t old, you have to put meaning in you life for yourself. you can’t just complain and expect something to come bop you on your head and tell you what to do to make your life meaningful. i’d suggest buying a pet. as silly as it sounds, it’s comforting knowing that something or someone trusts and depends on you. and you wouldn’t feel so lonely.

you’re 27 and still live with you’re family?

I am 64 years old, have a devastating disease called PRP. It is rare, there is no help and no cure. IT won’t kill me, it just makes me itch and hurt most of the time. But I am not complaining. I am alive. I have a husband who I think loves me. At least he seems to. I have three cats and a dog and I know they love me and they bring me joy. I can’t get outside a lot but when I can, I am out that door into God’s sunshine and fresh air. I try to garden the best I can. I pulled it off pretty good this year, got everything done but some of the final harvest. I didn’t have the energy to get it in. OH, well, rabbits and birds and little insects enjoyed the remains.

We are below the poverty level, but I cook from scratch when I feel like it and we still have some good things to eat while not gourmet, it is good basic food. Jobs are getting hard to find for my husband. We just had to borrow money to pay our light bill but God blessed us with the sale of an old truck we had, so we are able to pay that back right away. I don’t know where tomorrow’s money for bills is coming from if a job doesn’t turn up soon for us. I guess we will lose our cable. It is the only entertainment we have and the only frivolous bill. So if things get worse, the cable, which means Internet and TV will have to go. But I have plenty of books and I love to do crafts and sewing and Billy likes to bbq, even hot dogs and hamburgers taste better when you make a party out of it. He also enjoys fishing, which he hasn’t done in some time.

So that is my life…It is not pretty or a great life by most standards but we seem to be happy for the most part. We have learned to roll with the punches and there have been many in our lives. You may be sick, you may be poor, but you don’t have to be unhappy about it. Their are people who are worse off then you are. Just look around and be grateful. If you are alone, find someone. Go to places where other people go, like church or festivals,,volunteer…..that sort of thing. You are not the only one who feels alone. Go find someone else who needs a friend. Be a friend to others. It will come back to you.
And I think getting a pet is a wonderful loving thing to do. The SPCA has to put to sleep so many beautiuful loving, animals every year. I don’t know how I would have made it without the constant visits into my room of my darling pets. They cheer me up considerably and make me laugh.
I know this is long, but I just wanted you to know that in the midst of defeat, you can still be happy if you choose to be. But the most important thing, that gives me comfort is, if I leave this world today, I will go to be with Jesus. No preaching to you but you might want to think about that. Billy and I celebrate our anniversary on the 29th of this month. Our 36th. Say a prayer for us, if you pray.

Wow. I was so surprised to find this in my email this morning. This original post was almost a year ago and things have changed a lot for the better with us. We now have enough money to pay our bills, none left over but we feel blessed. My health has improved quite a bit. I am back to excerising I do still have PRP, but it somewhat in remission. I have it still on my chest, but compared to the way I felt when I wrote this, my health is a lot better. Life is good.

Thanks to all of you who prayered for us. Prayer does work. : ) We are living proof. I lost my darling little dog but he was 14 and I am just blessed to have him as long as we did.
Today, as I type this, it is a beautiful day. Filled with Sunshine and those beautiuful little pink flowers that just appear out of nowhere this time of year, are laying like a blanket over my back yard. Thank you God. You gave us a beautiuful world. No matter what our circustance, Sunshine and flowers are free.
