I love your advice and you said it so well, what I am feeling about what I no longer have. I will try and focus on the I cans. I can pick up my guitar again. I learned later in life and it has always brought me so much pleasure yet I’ve been too depressed to play but I will do something about that. I will be thankful that I don’t have a disease that has robbed me of my manual dexterity so I can still play. I love to read and have to be thankful that my vision is still good.
We had to say good-bye to our beloved 17 year old Yorkie last spring and I am still mourning her as well as the loss of my health. I want to add “I can” to petting a dog again and have actually been actively searching our local shelters for a small, adult or senior dog but they are adopted quickly. I think I need her even more than she would need me.
Thank you again for your kind advice and positive message that I will most definitely take to heart.
