DO YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOUR LIFE ?
|
DO YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOUR LIFE ? How's you life going? Are you a happy person? Are you a HEALTHY person? I suppose if you're happy with your life, you're probably healthy too. Are you where you thought you'd be when you were younger? The phrase "where you'd thought you'd be," has a lot of connotations. The best way to break some of those many individual meanings down is to concentrate on your happiness quotient. I can use my own life as an example of what I'm getting at. When I was a , I wanted to live an exciting, adventure filled life. I never wanted a lot of money, I wanted always, from the first I can remember, to always be in good health. My father was a follower of Bernard Mcfaddin, an early health nut. Wherever we lived, we had a vegetable garden and raised chickens and sometimes rabbits for food. Most of my preteen youth was spent in areas North of New York City in a country setting. During my summer vacations from school, I worked on farms in the neighborhood picking strawberries, raspberries, tomatoes, and other work on commercial farms. I can honestly say that at 79, I'm still healthy, and actually can't quite believe that I really have gotten this old. I don't feel old. I don't have aches and pains or any health problems. I haven't been to a doctor in over 50 years. Because I've been retired for years now, I get Social Security. The officials in the S.S. office keep writing me notices that I need to pick a doctor from a list they send me and go to a clinic and have a full physical exam done. I write them back each time I get such a notice that I have no intention of having a physical or of seeing any doctor in the forseeable future. I use "religious preferences" as my excuse not to go to one of the listed doctors and clinics. So far that's worked.. What about you? Do you feel good? I believe MD's in this country aren't trained to CURE any disease. Instead they're trained to treat the symptoms of disease and have the patient take expensive Big Pharma chemicals with sometimes horrible side effects for the rest of their lives. I feel I know my own body better than any healthy professional could ever know it. One of the main factors that's made me happy in my old age is owning my own house free and clear of any mortgage. This concept was banged into my young mind when my father lost our home during the<b> depression </font></b>for failure to be able to pay the property taxes. The home he lost was a prime 40 acre farm only 50 miles North of New York City. That particular 40 acres now is a gated condo settlement near Hyde Park, N. Y. The first thing I did after I'd stumbled into a little business when I was much younger, and made quite a bit of cash, was to go hunting for a place where I could settle down and live in peace and quiet to be as old as I am now. I lived in a 1956 VW Van for two years while I traveled from Los Angeles, to Sacramento, to Monterey, to San Francisco, to Las Vegas, and all the small places in between, looking for a place to buy on the West Coast. I wanted a place where I could settle down in comparative comfort, with things to keep me occupied physically. I finally found and bought this place, where I'm writing this post. I've lived here now for over 40 years, and have enjoyed every minute of my time spent here. I believe a lot of being happy is knowing oneself, and accepting what your strengths and failures are. Nothing in life is perfect. All your friends and lovers are going to have some things you dislike about them, as you have things they dislike about you. I don't know if you're happy or not. I hope you are, and if you're not, I hope you're using the honest knowledge of yourself to make yourself as happy as possible. by david stardust... Saturday morning, August 20, 2016...     |

When you leave your job for retirement, I'm sure you'll find fulfillment and happiness in other areas.. An agile mind like yours can't be kept down..

I would call you a VERY successful person, HC.. I've followed your posts since you first came on this site, and I've grown to admire and respect you. The people you work with have come to feel the same way about you.. When you do leave your position, there will be a missing link in the P.O.'s chain and a lot of confusion will probably happen for months after you're gone. I hope your retirement will be just as successful, and I bet it will be. Thank you always for your comments to my silly blog.. dave...
