Uh, my boat is getting rather crowded with old folks in pain and lonely. So many in the same boat and so many still lonely. I choose lonely over being taken advantage of when there are things I "know" I have no business doing. Also grew weary of threats by others believing I need to do this, that and the other. If you do not, we will not. I did so for years believing pleasing others meant acceptance. It did as long as I pleased others. Now, I hear about how I make excuses and if I would just do more I would feel better. Sounds reasonable enough...also a crock as I have learned. I stay to myself. I am polite and respectful to others. Someone gets in my face I walk a way and pray they do not follow. Seems the universal language has become "rude".
Fact is, body's do wear out.
