The meaning of life...

Sorry to hear about your tough times.......and I hope the new year is better for you and your family. A man who was like a grandfather to me use to quote Winston Churchill when I was young......"Never, never, never, never give up!" Hang in there!

I'm sorry you are having tough times

I had a bad year too, it was much worse that yours (subjective... of course). You can take my word for it or we can have commiseration event. Anyway, life is like that and I've convinced myself that it has something to do with the calendar. When this year ends so will the rough times.
Furthermore, there are people everywhere, even here on TBN dealing with severe health issues including cancer. We lost at least one member that I know of to this dreaded disease this year.
You did not mention any health issues and you have your wife, so count your blessings and move on.

Your are absolutely correct. Count your blessings, name them one by one. Thanks

Well from reading many of your posts lately we probably don't have much in common but I wish ya the best. When going thru rough patches I try telling myself the sun will shine another day. And when one door closes another one opens.
But number one in my book is

Don't confuse my political posts with my beliefs. I love to play Devil's Advocate, it's much more fun than being a ditto head. Thanks for your thoughts, I am into Psalms at this moment.

I'm not sure. I guess I just keep going the best I can. I had a bunch of personal drama this year, I had a bone tumor removed, thankfully no cancer, then my dog Bubba died, then my wife got cancer. She had it removed and starts radiation next week. They caught it early, so the prognosis is very good. My mother inlaw just had a brain tumor removed last week, thankfully no cancer, but her speech is not good, and it will take time to get better. Then we just had 7 days of no power. I guess just focus on controlling the things you can.

Jeepers, my problems pale in comparison. Good luck to you.

I feel I have lost my way.

Take comfort in the fact that all living things die. Accept what is natural, move on and enjoy your remaining days.

The past is history
The future is a mystery
Today is a gift (that why it's called the "present")

I like that, thank you.

Memories, they live with you. Smile at them, have them, and then do what is in front of you. My horse of 26 years coliced and after a night of **** we put him down. My father passed away unexpectedly, brother was diagnosed with brain cancer, mother gave up and passed on. My brother went a year later. It was a trying time, still is. Tears can come like they never could before. But for me it is the memories, and the natural cycle of what simply is. Kindness- I give it when I can, and I try to recognize important things- rushing is not worth it anymore. Find the smile in the little things every day.
Have a good day.

Thank you. I have realized through the many posts I am not alone, it just seems that way. I am so lucky and fortunate in many ways that I now feel embarrassed compared to what others go through. Thank you all for the help and insight.
