• once you get old, you realize you have nothing to live for.
  

  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.

• I have a problem and need some help asap.
  

  You could also check around and offer to be live in companion to someone who is bedridden in exchange for a place to stay. Maybe a little light housework or cooking might be involved. Check the want ads. I see these ads sometimes.
  
  If you drive and have a car, you can offer to do shopping for others who can’t get out to do it or those who are too busy. They give you thier list and you pick it up and deliver it for them. Make up flyers and pass them out to advertise. All you need here is gas..Yeah, I know it is expensive today, but it is a thought.
  
  If there was time, you could make plant starts from flowers and sell them when they got a good start. All you need for that is containers, like tine cans, etc,,,and some soil…and talk people into giving you plant cuttings.
  
  I’m just throwing this out there. You may not be able to use it, but someone else reading this, may. Good luck to you. This is something most poverty stricken women like me, worry about a lot too.

• I have a problem and need some help asap.
  

  You can try the Salvation Army. They help sometimes as in your case. Also try your local churches. Some of them help out in certain cases too. You could have a garage sale, if you have anything of value to sell. Or if you are a sewer, you could take in some sewing to do. Offer to do cleaning or ironing around your neighborhood. Offer to walk dogs if you are not afraid of them. If you are a good cook, offer to cook for people. My DH smokes and bar b q’s for people and sells the meat. If you are a healthy, there is a lot you can do. Just think outside of the box.
  
  If you have an active ATM or credit card, you can try selling some things on eBay. I use to sell books. But you must have a credit card to put on file for them. A lot of things do pretty well. You can get free boxes to mail in from the post office. Free tape to use in packing. Use old newpapers to wrap things in.

• The longest song I’ve ever written!
  

  Well, you probably have more published songs than I have. I have twelve published. So let him take your advise. But the days of gangsta and violence are coming to an end. It is time for a more positive country. Violent songwriters are responsible for a lot of bad news in this country today. We need more positive role models. I am encouraging him to use his no doubt, great talent, for good and not bad. Put out a positive message and you will get back positive. Nothing ever returns void. It always bring back to you what you put out there.

• The longest song I’ve ever written!
  

  You need to find a more positive group of friends to hang around. Like is a banquet and you are starving to death. Get some fresh air and sunshine. Life is beautiful, not morbid. : ) Write an upbeat, positive song. Don’t be a part of this nation’s problems. Be the solution. I am a songwriter and violence is not in my agenda. Write about love and great achievements, write about helping others, Get to know Bono types.
