Please do not give up hope. You sound very capable and have many gifts including being healthy, able to drive, independent. Those are presents. I understand you can be without hope but don’t give up having a meaningless life yet.

Thanks for your encouragement. I had lunch with a couple of friends yesterday. One is 10 years younger than me. Yet, physically she is falling apart. I was appalled at how busy she is going to all these different doctors and all these different drugs she is taking. I do believe that all the drugs I am not taking is prolonging my life. It is hard not to be pessimistic. Two of my friends are battling cancer. I know it can strike at any time. Will I be one of them? Who knows. However I continue to get up every morning and try to have at least one errand to do to keep me from staying in the house. The heat does not help.
