There are no material things that matter to me in this world, just people.
My grandmother used to say life is a bunch of crap with a little happiness thrown in. She was a great strong woman, born in 1907, went from mule teams to a Cadillac. Growing up in Missouri and 15 years old, she once had to take a knife to the hired hand on her father's farm and run him off, he was abusive to her younger brother. Lost her 3rd child as an infant, suffered through the depression, married my grandfather at 17 after both of her parents died within months of each other after moving to Colorado. She lived to 97 in a house I built for her on my dad's property, was well to do by then with money and property... yet her only true happiness was her family.
At 64 I understand the same thing for the same reasons.
Death has never scared me and will be welcome when it comes, until then I search for nuggets of happiness in all the crap.

a am sitting in a wheel chair right now, after three heart attacks and seven stents last year. in physical therapy with a hope to get out of the chair. i have had to have assistence with the most basic of things.
thank the good Lord my wife of over 40 years hasn't thrown me out, i love her more every day.
funny, i was 27 when i married that 37 year old with three kids. people said it wouldn't last, it did.
I for the time being can't do a lot of what i did through my lifetime. but i can still love my wife. Said a prayer for you my friend. I'm sorry to hear of all this.

Sit talking and listening with a very dear friend who is in his final moments. One that aspired, achieved, gave much to others and now with everything to live for, is going away far too early in life and through no fault of his own.
These things can make one deeply thankful for what they have including their trials and their dark days.
Perspectives.

To quote the poet and satirist Dorothy Parker:
"Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song,
a medley of extemporanea,
And love is a thing that can never go wrong,
and I am Marie of Romania.”

Don't want you guys to get the wrong impression. I still got a lotta kick left in me and will just step it up another notch for my wife. Like Big Jim says, I'm just too stubborn to quit. I have been around awhile and plan to be some more.
Lots of wisdom been espoused on this thread. I thank you all for the thoughts and experiences.
The thing that has kept me at the fire all this time is knowing that this a a pretty good bunch of folks. Some days it would appear that you all want to kill each other, and the next it is a support team in action. There is solace in being able to type out what you are dealing with to folks that will hear you out. The "Fire" to the rescue when we think another needs a bucking up. Never look for pity, just perspective.
Today is a new day with renewed resolve.
And yes, Flave, you are the most important person on the planet. Just like the rest of us.

I get that way every morning as I awaken. Everything ...everything hurts, and I don't want to move.
Then, Rosie runs by with one of my shoes and wants to play keep-away, Buster the Cairn barks for his morning milkbone, Kiki Cat rubs her face on mine and purrs, and Jenny-Penny licks the cat and me.
I realize I have responsibilities.

I strive to stay alive because I think I’m the most important person on the planet. Proof that delusion can beat depression. GD

Cant change the past.
You can live for the present.
And influence the future somewhat or alot.
If your ticket is gonna get punched.
It's gonna happen and their ain't much you can do about it.
If ya had a good run at life.
People will remember it in ways.
So dont worry about tommorow.
Take it today.
Forget about the check.
We'll get hell to pay....
