@parus , I know that feeling very well. People think depression is all about sadness, but that's just a small part of it. Physical and/or mental conditions and illnesses do contribute to the problem. When we are no longer able to function as we did in our younger years, especially, it can be depressing. We look at all these younger people and some times think " life is wasted on the young." When I was younger I did not have the patience that I have now. And I was always considered an extremely patient person. My husband's health is so precarious that any plans we make may be changed st the very last minute. My health was that way for years, so I do understand his situation. Mine could change at any moment. I could have a Fibro flare and find myself totally incapacitated. Sometimes I drive the GrannyScooter at the grocery store, knowing full well some folks think I'm taking advantage of it. I don't care anymore. Life is to be lived. And I will find a way to make it work. Most days! Love and hope to you!
Dear@mattie, Yes, I was told by someone from Ancestry .com the males will show the Native American. But the females will show only where the Native Americans came from. Supposedly, my Father's side of the family came from Great Britain and Western Europe. Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, and Greece. When I saw my cousin (Let's call him Alvin) at the funeral, I didn't think to ask him about his results. But I will pursue it. I find it rather humerous that all these years I could just as easily have lived on a Reservation. Life on a Reservation is no picnic. My cousin taught there for many years. Her home had no running water.But she loved teaching the children. I would like to understand more of the scientific explanation of all of this.
Light and Love,
Mamacita
