Well, I didn't want to tell him the world is coming to an end in December 2015.
I thought I'd cheer him up instead.
See, that's what Haggis does.
If you ever notice a slight odor around here, that's why.

Don't ask me. I am in weekly counseling sessions for retirement anxiety. Seems like it really is a thing, some folks can never relax. I worried myself sleepless over the cost of the sessions and then remembered that I have Medicare now.
Kids raised and on their own, car paid for, guaranteed yearly winters in southern Florida without even having to babysit and yet I am begging to babysit. My house is almost paid off and the new roof, windows and living room are paid off. The grandkids like me and I like them (duh). I have two sibs that drive me nuts but we are close and caring. My daughters are beginning to see reason in the way they were raised, not exactly a truce but they no longer call me Mommy Dearest. Nice garden to work it all off in-- I still manage to truncate my sleep with mindless worries.
Maybe when I can get away from me things will get better. --s6

Sat Nam! (literally "Truth Name"--a Sikh greeting)
Most of us forget when we signed up for the obstacle course called Life that there were bound to be obstacles.
Each age has its own challenges. Personally, I prefer the physical aches and pains of being 60+ to the insecurities of youth.
The trick to getting through is attitude. If I'm remembering correctly, you've written a "letter" to your younger self. Try applying that attitude to whatever it is you're going through now.

Wasn't it supposed to be December 2012? Damned government is always running behind schedule.
I cannot advise. My life will remain unrewarding and difficult until I can learn to drive a dump truck.
It doesn't. The moment you are born is the moment you begin to die. We just learn to build up a tolerance for suffering until we're strong enough to go "fk it" at all the bad stuff and focus on the good.

I prefer my blues more modern.

God I miss old John Mayer. Where The Light Is was the best album, and last good one, he put out. Damn... now I'm making myself depressed.
Yep, gonna need some Monty Python: https://youtu.be/ur5fGSBsfq8
Ah, much better.
Well... I guess that kind of depends on what the problem is?
I dreaded this part of life for a few years personally, but now I am starting to like it very much. For the time being anyway, most of my heavy responsibilities are behind me and I can mostly do what I want. I still have a few things to work on but overall, it's pretty nice.
One thing that has definitely made my life easier is shutting the door on people who make it needlessly hard, if that applies.

Bad week having am I.
Ack.
Counting down the minutes until we fly away to Cuba and spend a week on the beach side-by-side holding hands.
People are dying. Judgements are being passed. Family is a shitheel you cannot scrape off, no matter how you try.
Fast-forward to Sunday afternoon...pina colada in hand and Idontgiveafuck in heart.
