RE: The last time I felt truly alive was...
There are also many with a way better life than we have. Let's for a change compare us as the poor with them and reach for the stars instead of always telling ourselves we don't deserve anything better because there are people more pathetic than we are. How about that?
You and I both know how hard we struggled all those years to be where we are, the bad health included.
If the poor like it or not, we worked for that mattress and it's no fun if you get out of bed like a crimple and need the entire day to recover.
You are right, wakeupkitty, I believe that both you and I, we do not compare ourselves to anyone, but it is true that there are many people who are much better off than us, after they have worked as much or less than us. I don't know, that's the way the world is, I'm not going to fix it. What I do know is that every day I get up to work hard, I do not complain. If I can help someone, I will do it with pleasure.
I just work to achieve what I have. If a mattress is going to screw me up, I sleep on the floor. It's as important to sleep as it is to work, for me.
Yes, I remember all that we have fought for. We always write, as long as you and I have known each other, about health problems, food, responsibility for children, and many other things; that's hard work.
Always onward and upward!
