Makes you stop to appreciate what you have rather than what you don't.<br /><br />I have outlived both maternal grandparents, 3 great grandmothers and my oldest brother at this point. If I live to 71 years I'll have outlived three generations of my family save 1 great grandmother. At least I now have a goal, right? ;-)slugmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728856166374248591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173509801114364154.post-11535269861991035712017-03-31T09:33:01.406-05:002017-03-31T09:33:01.406-05:00Just catching up on your blog.

I can't even imagine being without either, and know the things that bother me would be welcomed experiences for those that lost their partner. Take care-moving is one of the most stressful things added to job loss and then change.

It's so very hard to put it into perspective, given all of the daily choices & stress we face. But you are right, we are here, every day doing the best we can, and have a real opportunity to enjoy, despite the small (hopefully) daily challenges. Our weight, our time management, our lack of sleep, our job stress, our bickering over impulse grocery purchases (my husband;-)), finances, etc.<br /><br />Hawaii Plannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760426766801381563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173509801114364154.post-28323283245486951622017-03-30T17:18:36.737-05:002017-03-30T17:18:36.737-05:00So very sorry for your losses.
