What little things make life worth living?

I'm having to really dig deep for this one. My will to live must be really strong bc there have been so many days since my illness that I haven't had an answer for that question yet I keep getting up day after day and continue to fight and continue looking for new ways to fight. I keep praying for a solution so I guess for right now that's my reason. That plus all the things I'm grateful for. I remind myself of these often, it's like the tiniest shred of hope I cling to. All I can hope for is a day when I have a long list and not only this constant search for answers. I really enjoyed reading all of yours, this was a good question.

So glad you are here!!

I understand the searching need, trust me, I have so many imperfections it's hard to concintrate on just one at a time. Something I learned in my teen pot smoking days is, we, the body, is just a shell, the soul is the light that keeps us alive, yet we search externally for happines. When I astroprojected at 16, I was scared and didn't know what happened. A friend explained, we have an ambilical cord attached from the body to the soul, and as we lift/ levitate, the cord stretches. If we lift too high, the cord will snap and disconnect from the body and our body will die, for without our light, battery, soul, we are nothing. Just go ahead and bury and burn us, it's just a cracked walnut shell. With this in mind we still think we can be helped and happy from external means. Sometimes we can learn enough from simplistic external entities to accomplish that, but when in dought, look internally for your light, your soul, for this IS the most important part of your life that never dies. In the meantime, enjoy this amazing planet with all the glory to absorb to your soul!

@tweedledee This things shall pass. The brighter days are ahead .🤞🙏

My granddaughter saying I wish grandparents were forever..melted my heart..

Because I know there is more out there. I don’t want to give up on myself or my sisters

I get up most days and thank the Almighty that when I look into the mirror I know who’s looking back, just one thing I’m surely grateful about. I recently had two of my granddaughters stay for several days. It constantly reminds me of all the great things in life, two budding personalities, who have no hesitation in telling their grandparents how much they are loved. What more can a person ask for.

My Great Granddaughter soon to be two. I don't get to see her much but she is fun to be with and watching her personality develop is great!

I second this- I have 3 cats and they keep me centered and motivated to keep going! 2 are 7 years and one 19, still hanging on. Also, all of nature! All the things out there that Mother Nature takes care of. Birds, mammals, insects, plants, etc etc. it’s inspiring to see how they all work together in an ecosystem, and how hard they try to survive. I see things of wonder every day and I also love sharing those things with other people who aren’t aware.
The sunflower that birds accidentally planted between my patio and driveway!

@naturelyn
Standing ovation!
Yes, nature is the most rewarding to me also. You are a gem to care for aging cats, and I'm sure they show their love back to you. Lovely sunflower! The birds must love you too!
