Does anyone my age still say this besides me?
For the last week I have been sentiment-ing just that. My response to everything has been "I want my mom!" This of course means: "I can't do it anymore."
And when you are a child, your mother swoops in and cradles you in her loving arms, strokes your hair and soothingly sings:
"ooo---ooo child things are gonna get easier---someday things will get brighter..."
I threw my back out a week ago...OUCH!!! We certainly take our backs for granted. Something as simple as putting your pants on, bending at the sink to brush your teeth, or playing a game of "Bunny, Bunny, Bunny!" is just impossible!
And yes I am playing "Bunny, Bunny, Bunny" again (which is one of my FAVOURITE drama games) because I am teaching a full year (Long Term Occasional) DRAMA contract in the EAST end. EAST SIDE!!!! (making hand gesture)----although I am a WEST SIDE (making hand gesture) liver and lover!
Peace, Love and Scarlem--Scarberia--the Borough of Scar!!!

time is long. life does not get easier. folks just settle for less. so if you continue to try, you continue to battle. but it is better than not trying.... according to this blog, you originally gave yourself one year or something. one year is not long. it takes a lifetime to build something, unless you are ridiculously lucky, and how many people really are? I bet you have accomplished a lot in this year, perhaps not what you wrote you wanted to accomplish, but if life is a journey you certainly have travelled a good distance, even if it is only measureable within yourself. Are you happy? Are you enjoying life? These are things that count. We are not sure of an afterlife, it would be nice, and we're hoping for it, but what really matters is this brief time we have in existance and making the most of that while we can. Time is long. Do not view a day wasted as a failure, but as part of a pattern- like waves coming in to a beach. There are low spots and high crests and the lows are necessary because they help to create the crests. Brave on! No bird can fly too high on their own wings.

Thank you for taking 'time' to leave this touching and thoughtful note.
Totally wish I would have written that... but it is nice to know that you think I would have be capable of it :)
Hearts...
Call you later!
