I think it comes to all of us
But only now and then,
That we're fed-up with everything
And want to pack in it.
When other people tell you
About their aches and pain
But never seem to notice
They've never heard you complain.
Because you grin and bare it
Without a whimper or moan
You keep all that to yourself
Until you get back home.
And that's when you consider,
Although things may be tough,
You do still have your life to live
And for now that is enough.
So very true x
Yes, you’ve spotted another truth there, Don! Thanks for Billy Joel.
Not so bad for me today, I’m sitting in my garden under my sun umbrella ☀️☀️☀️ Quiet, all the neighbours at work or school. Delightful!! 🌹🌹🌹
Very True Don. Stay well & Midge of Course. Love n Hugs. xxx
Morning Mr.D and I love that tune. It reminds me of times well before my illness. Oh those were the days and if only we had the ability to see the future,I wouldn't have misbehaved so much!! Wish I'd never smoked but then,me forever the pessimist, I could've had some illness far worse. So live and let live,I say coz none of us know how tougher things can get.
Hope you had a decent weekend and how are your girls, lol !!??
So true SH. I had a very sporting weekend, thank you, from the comfort of my recliner. My 'girls' are getting very restless, at the least the knitted one's are, sitting in a stationary campervan. I'm trying to give myself a kick up the back-side here to get me moving again. 😉x
Maybe we could all join in the backside kicking, because we want you to go adventuring and take us all along for the ride too 😎
Just you behave yourself young HH, encouraging people to engage in mass backside kicking indeed. If I could obtain a double decker bus and take you all on a Summer Holiday with me Midge and the knitted ones, I would be very happy to do that. 🤓
Ok "Cliff" I'll come with you, I'll bring Princess to Magic up Dreams. xxxx
Thank you dear Don. Have a great day. Xxxx
I know Wimbledon is over Cap'n but that was yet another ace! x
It's good to see you Don. I hope you're doing alright. 👍
Thank you HH. Just a touch of inertia, nothing serious.
Brilliant one of my favourite tunes and sayings!X
Mr Don! Excellent again! Janet127
You hit the nail on the head again Don.💪
Don that's great ...... Thanks for posting 💕X
So true and good to be reminded Don
That's what I thought. I'll go back and have another read of it. 🙂
😊😊😊x
That’s very true VENERABLE DON😉😉
Venerable eh? Can you get ointment for that? 🤔
🤣🤣🤣
A little better. I just lost my son. He was Only 47. Died of a heart attack. It has been a month now and I miss him greatly. I do not want to die but I. Sure don't want to be here like this. I thought it was bad when his mother died. I just don't know what to feel, or sure how I am going to handle this. I feel sick all over.. Thanks for posting this. God bless you. They say God is perfect, and he has a reason for everything. Sure wish he would talk to me now, I don't like what I am thinking.
You have my deepest sympathy Hacksaw , I lost my wife 2010 through lung cancer and my son two years later from a stroke, he was 55. I felt exactly as you do and seriously considered putting an end to it all. I don't believe in God so there was no relief from that quarter. The suffering didn't ease until I started to concentrate on what I still had rather than what I had lost. I bought a campervan and started travelling around a bit, came on here and found that I was quite good at putting things to rhyme (you will find something like 300 of those poems/rhymes scattered about this site) . Believe me the pain will ease with time enabling you to look around to see what you can do with the rest of your life. I still have black periods, but the people on here help me to get back on track. They will do the same to you if you let them. 🤜🤛
Hacksaw, I can only say that I am sure your son would not want you to feel as you are feeling now - have you sought any help from religious quarters if you are of any particular faith? Carry on for him and make him proud of you! You will get through this - try to ensure that his memory will live on both for yourself and for others. I wish you the strength to deal with your loss and to find some sort of peace. My thoughts are with you. Don-1931 has written some words above I would like you to read and read again.
