It would be nice to lose these wrinkles and maybe have that 20 inch waistline again. Other than that, I'm a happy woman.

@goldensrbest

I don't wish to be young again, but those types of memories will live in me through my oldest years. Time moves on and my goal now is enjoy and cherish each day I am given.

@goldensrbest Make new memories....make them for someone else...a needy family....a needy child....give time or food or toys to a pet shelter....or offer your time serving homeless meals or help deliver seniors meals with meals on wheels..... and do not focus on what you USE TO HAVE.

Give someone else good memories and in doing so, create new good...nice ...fun... memories for you.

@goldensrbest I'm sorry for your feelings of loss. Christmas can be a lot of work, both physical and emotional, and so often one can feel like they're just going through the motions. I don't necessarily envy others their joy in the season, I just wish I could be a bit more there with them. I feel more this year than ever that my heart just wasn't in it. I understand that Christmas is a shadow of its former self, but you know, it's what we've got.

Merry Christmas to you.

@SeaMaiden. That's a bit harsh to tell someone not to focus on a lost child. I also wish you Blessings for a his season.

@goldensrbest You can't go back so enjoy what you have. You are still here so make the best of it. You have memories that you can cherish so go ahead and enjoy your life. Merry Christmas!

@proudlyfromNJ It was not meant to be harsh or otherwise. But, to be miserable and self consumed with grief....when you could use those emotions to make another life brighter, happier, it is the best way to get out of a dark place and feel joy again. I know from experience. To grieve is normal..and there is time to grieve.....

Of course you never forget a loss...but to live in it and dwell on it to the point where you feel no joy is no way to live.

You can not go back in time....only forward.

So sorry for your losses @goldensrbest. I hope that there will be some unexpected moment of joy for you this holiday season.

Its not near as fun for me either.

@SeaMaiden. I apologize. I didn't know you had lost a child. I cant think of anything more heartbreaking. I am glad you were able to move forward with life.
