Hugssssssss to all of you!

That feeling of no control over your lives to achieve your dreams must be so frustrating and hurtful. I'm sorry you are feeling that.

May I offer a suggestion? I went through a time when I sort of felt the same way a few years back. Maybe it was more of a midlife crisis issue after some health problems arose. I felt I hadn't done what I wanted in my life and needed to do more. Physically, I was unable to do too much, but, I decided to look into some volunteer positions within my community and found TONS of them.

Many volunteer situations are just a few hours a week or month. They range from doing computer work, to stuffing envelopes, to driving folks to appointments. The ideas are endless really.

What I got out of volunteering was a wonderful sense of appreciation, self worth, a warm heart and I was able to network and meet new people and find new opportunities for myself over the years.

I don't know if any of you are in a position of volunteering, but it may be worth a looksee. I wish you all well and that you can find some peace with yourselves.

Hugssssssssss
Jean
