Thanks Asha, that applies to me as a widow too. It is hard to come up against a brick wall in the search for new meaning in your life. I will try to see it as a challenge, not as something designed to stop me or turn me away.

Good point of view Asha. Like you before my stroke, I give up no biggie. Now, I look at the brick wall, and know it is a challenge, and when I over come I feel soooooo good!!!!!

I remember I could not tie my shoes, at first my son would tie then for me, nothing said. Well he went to college, I would just wear my push in shoes. One day I needed my gym shoes, my grandson try to tie then for me bless his heart, but I knew deep down that I had to try and do it myself. After a few turns, I DID It, looked bad, but felt good now no problem, got it going on. Yes it was a small problem in the grand systems of things, but a biggie for me!

ASHA --- all i can say is impeccable timing -- THANK YOU>>!!!!! nancyl

I'm a fighter but sometimes lately I just want to give up, with all this new healthcare stuff. Now I will imagine a crumbly wall that I will push down, no matter what the odds! Thanks for the words of wisdom.
