I don't give up, Marty, but right now I just want to see some improvement.
Perhaps tomorrow I'll get some answers. Time will tell. Thanks for the 18's
as I need them all.....Millie

Hi Millie,
No matter what you may be going through don't you ever give up. Why do you
think that I always end any of my posts with 18's
Millie 18's to you.

You are an inspiration and what you said is so true. I never thought that
I'd be in the winter, but here I am. I still try very hard to take one day at
a time and do the best I can. I've had a lot of health issues lately, but
haven't given up. I will save what you've written and that will inspire me to
deal with each day and do the best I can. Thanks Marty......Millie

Subject: [CMLHope] AND THEN IT'S WINTER.
MY LIFE HAS BEEN AN ADVENTURE OF SORTS, AND THEN IT'S WINTER.
You know. . . Time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware
of the passing years. It seems just yesterday that I was young, just
married and embarking on my new life with my mate. Yet in a way, it
seems like eons ago, and I wonder where all the years went. I know that
I lived them all. I have glimpses of how it was back then and of all my
hopes and dreams.
But, here it is... The winter of my life and it catches me by
surprise... How did I get here so fast? Where did the years go and
where did my youth go? I remember well seeing older people through the
years and thinking that those older people were years away from me and
that winter was so far off that I could not fathom it or imagine fully
what it would be like.
But, here it is... My friends are retired and getting grey... They move
slower and I see an older person now. Some are in better and some worse
shape than me... But, I see the great change... Not like the ones that
I remember who were young and vibrant... But, like me, their age is
beginning to show and we are now those older folks that we used to see
and never thought we'd be. Each day now, I find that just getting a
shower is a real target for the day! And taking a nap is not a treat
anymore... it's mandatory! Cause if I don't on my own free will... I
just fall asleep where I sit!
And so... Now I enter into this new season of my life unprepared for
all the aches and pains and the loss of strength and ability to go and
do things that I wish I had done but never did!! But, at least I know,
that though the winter has come, and I'm not sure how long it will
last... This I know, that when it's over on this earth... Its over. A
new adventure will begin!
Yes, I have regrets. There are things I wish I hadn't done... Things I
should have done, but indeed, there are many things I'm happy to have
done. It's all in a lifetime.
So, if you're not in your winter yet... Let me remind you, that it will
be here faster than you think. So, whatever you would like to
accomplish in your life please do it quickly! Don't put things off too
long!! Life goes by quickly. So, do what you can today, as you can
never be sure whether this is your winter or not! You have no promise
that you will see all the seasons of your life... So, live for today
and say all the things that you want your loved ones to remember...
And hope that they appreciate and love you for all the things that
you have done for them in all the years past!!
"Life" is a gift to you. The way you live it is your gift to those who
come after. Make it a fantastic one.
LIVE IT WELL! ENJOY TODAY! DO SOMETHING FUN! BE HAPPY ! HAVE A GREAT DAY
Remember: "It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and
silver.
LIVE HAPPY IN 2013!
LASTLY, CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING: TODAY IS THE OLDEST YOU'VE EVER BEEN,
YET THE YOUNGEST YOU'LL EVER BE SO -- ENJOY THIS DAY WHILE IT LASTS.
18's
Marty
