As Dylan Thomas writes:<br />"Do not go gentle into that good night,<br />Old age should burn and rage at close of day;<br />Rage, rage against the dying of the light."<br /><br />Liza states:<br />"Of course there's also the blogging and commenting which is my form of socializing nowadays. Also very important. I like to think of myself as a voice to be heard AND reckoned with! X) (please don't prick this balloon, let me keep that illusion :)))"<br /><br />Yes indeed!! Though I don't contribute to FN anymore; I always read your comments! :-)We have a lot to offer through our life experiences and our knowledge base...so continue with your commentaries and your artistic projects for there are many who are reading and gaining inspiration from them.<br /><br />We will have a better New year!

Everything is going downhill fast! :D<br /><br />Believe me I would not hesitate to seek medical help if I ever thought I needed it. But right now Ijust try to keep as busy and involved with everything around me as I can.<br /><br />I keep myself as busy as I can within my limitations. Right now, my latest discovery/passion is orchids. I sincerely believe they bring up my serotonin levels!<br /><br />I go out there every day and mess with them, re-pot, water, fertilize, just enjoy! I love it.<br /><br />But I also have the cakes and cookies, which bring me a sense of still being useful, and bringing joy to someone. To me that's so important. <br /><br />Of course there's also the blogging and commenting which is my form of socializing nowadays. Also very important. I like to think of myself as a voice to be heard AND reckoned with! X) (please don't prick this balloon, let me keep that illusion :))) <br /><br />But I thank God at least I am still able to do these things, where many cannot. So I do feel thankful every day.<br /><br />Carolyn, as you can see I go on and on... But at least I keep myself happy, and that's as Martha would say "a good thing" hahaha! <br /><br />Thanks for this timely article and the video.<br /><br />Merry, merry, and Happy, happy! luv ya!<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
