Idk if in Years past if any one thought about two people meeting, getting married ,having Children And then see what happens when both their DNA MIX = Offspring... I NEVER DID. Who does that? I did think 🤔 😅 oh my babies may have blue eyes and light hair or will they have dark curly hair and brown eyes, like their Father? Wow how wonderful, the future, the babies, the guidance, What we they be like. Everyone i am sure, hopes for Just A Healthy , happy Bouncing Baby boy or girl... Not ever did in think about ,at age 70 +, Have I pasted Any or maybe all my Health Problems on to them & then there is Their Father, with all his Families Issues, that have shown themselves early, mid or later life... maybe that's is Why most of these Health issues Will Not show themselves until later and we not Worry after things that are Impossible to Change. IF WE THOUGHT ,MAYBE OR EVEN KNEW there could be a Chance Maybe. WOULD WILL HAVE CHILDREN??? I did when younger think a little bit but I never gave r let myself give there. If I did, if anyone did,i would believe it would give THEM ,'PAUSE' they may not want not to have children... But our minds tell us, at least gave me thought of these Questions. With me after a moment, YES OF COURSE I want MY OWN Children and if by some reason things did come to tge,Surface, WE will DEAL WITH IT. NOTHING is Guaranteed but in the future, by the time my kids have any kind of problem, I am sure there will be a CURE or things one can work with.If we don't think in Good Thought, we alm would NEVER HAVE CHILDREN. WHAT YA THINK? I KNOW IT IS A pretty Heavy question. Idk why I got On this subject. Could have been from looking back, Now at 70, I can Ask these type of questions, I am Not afraid, been there, done that. BUT WHAT IF? I can at this time in my Life, feel comfortable that I can look back, see life as it has come and yes, one thing for sure and what I said in My Mother, Rita's, Remembrance Mass, No words could have been Truer, in my eyes were " Life is Extremely Complicated and Seldom Fair ",but with the Love that each One of Us that are Blessed to experience thru Familia and Friends 🧡 IT has never been a question ... Life can be as Beautiful as your New Born Baby 👶, & can be as Ugly as All get out. Life is unknown, but exciting, can be painful but always with hope for a better tomorrow. LIFE in all its Form, Is The Greatest Gift, The Greatest Blessing of All. I am so Thankful. Happy 😊 Holidays. I am better for knowing All of You Loveky People

Good for you TerriD. I am 74 but my brain says 45. I am laughing at myself because my body agrees with this diagnosis. My brain is screaming to move and the body chuckles back, "not today sweetheart". I will work until I scream in pain and beg for drugs to ease the pain. I will not give up because my litter boxes need cleaning today and now the dishes! More appointments next week, too. I still have a lot to do!😁

I am sorry that you have so much stress. I have sticky notes everywhere! I also have an auto correction in my computer. It lets me know when something is spelled wrong, needs a comma or sounds better if reworded. It does not correct on this line, but on my regular emails it makes the changes. I deal with carrying for my hubby since his 3 strokes 10+ years ago, too big of a house and property. I enjoy releasing some tension here by asking questions. He does not talk much so this is great. I will not leave him alone too often which adds more stress trying to do my errands and having him call my cell often to ask when I will be home. He is also almost deaf! So, he hears the phone ring but no voice in return. Frustration sets in for both of us. Try to reread what you have written. I did make mistakes and needed to change my words. I just turned 74 last month and hubby is now 84. Aging did not fit in my plans! I try to sew and paint, quilts and wall hangings and lots of hand sewing to keep busy even in the waiting room of MD offices and ERs!

It is not fair that these are our golden years! I want to do and say so much! Try to relax more. I use a mini recorder sometimes! But lots of sticky notes!

Happy holidays! We do not bother with a tree anymore because I have to do everything alone then put everything away too. Too much stress!😁

Oh yea, Joanne6, 4got to tell you, my Mother, Rita had Breast Cancer, ( removal), DEALT with 4 separate cases of LUNG CANCER, all started in her 60's and Rita Survived all that until she reached the age of 89, WOW, she really never ever thought of Giving Up or Giving IN ! I want to be more like My Mom and Joanne6 and I also will be hitting the Great,Age of 71 ,In this New upcoming year . We are all just Young WhiperSnapers

You tell Them, girlfriend, My Mom, She Never Stopped, I couldn't keep up with her most times. SHE NEVER gave Up or gave In. I have some of her " GO GET EM " attitude and I am so thankful 🙏 for all my small blessings... With Us, Joannes6 ,Being in Our 70's can be an Time of enlightenment . We just need to try and work thru the tangled Webs that want to get in our way forward. What needs to be working at its Best, is OUR MENTAL Health. I do that best when I have Pushed ahead, with any kind of PHYICAL MOVEMENT. We STOP doing that, we will end up STOPPING most everything we like to do, normally. I say this bcuz I've seen it! WE Witness it ALL , that's if you are Blessed & willing to hang on, for more of this WILD Bumpy Ride
