@sillyblone I’m right there with you. Now I’m 74 and I think who’s going to hire me. I’m old and no one listens to me. What more do I have to offer to this world?

@mimigirl63 There is a group of Seniors Helping Seniors! It may not be everywhere! But look into it and see what it offers! I am not dead yet and nothing will take my dignity! If it does sound like you would fit definitely try it out! Doing for others helps us to forget ourselves and remember we are worthy, able and matter! By, the way I lost the love of my life a couple months ago! I am so broken hearted and am having to do more things then when I was a caregiver! Overwhelming, but I have a loving family, church and I still have a brain that can think and make decisions! It saddens me that we are not valued by others at times ! But, I tell myself I am worthy and still have a brain ! It is hurtful and rude.. but I am an adult and I can think and work circles around some of these rude arrogant younger or same age people!! Yes, we ache sometimes.. but believe me you and myself are just important and have abilities that some do not! Never give up, til you can’t! Love for others is missing for others at times! Hold your head high and remember “ I’m here and I can make it happen through strength and God”!!

@mimigirl63 Young teens need you desperately. Find a way to volunteer. If you need a job and don't have skills, look into micro-credential opportunities. Learn a little Python and get a free Claude account and Strat writing code.
