Growing old is not for the faint of heart and I do consider myself to be healthier than many of my friends: my blood pressure is great, cholesterol and blood sugar levels perfect, lungs are strong, hearing excellent, weight good, no arthritis.

YES – this is a great attitude, though difficult to achieve, but a really wonderful way to look at life. Love the thought and the art. Kudos to Peggy and Judy.

Sharon,
I remember reading a wonderful book at there always being more to be happy about (then sad). It was written by someone who had lost his son on 9/11, and expressed this sentiment-that the love and joy he had gotten from his son was worth the pain of losing him. It was very moving. If I remember the title I will lat you know, but can’t think of it right now.

What a great way to put it. Simple and clear. I will engrave this on my brain and recall it anytime I’m feeling sorry for myself.

Ronna,
Yes, and it is concise! I read a whole book about this concept, written by someone who lost his son on 9/11. He said there is always more to love than to be sad (you wouldn’t be sad if you hadn’t loved).
