It's been quite awhile since I posted in this blog - but was encouraged to start again by my former high school class mate Linda. The problem is what to write about. It's not like nothing has happened to me over the past months, but a good deal of it is not really pleasant. I guess though we grow through our struggles. I think I had this crazy notion growing up that as I got older, life would become less complicated and ..... well .... yes I'll say .... easier. Whew - what a lie that is.
I am pretty sure I have said this before - but you never know when a crisis is going to strike. In this day and age, having a plan is crucial. Many of us reading this may be blessed enough to still have our parents, but for those of us who don't or whose parents are not well, life becomes even more complicated. I think many of us grow up thinking that our parents will always be there and they will always help us when things get rough. Sadly this is not always the case.
So first - do the best you can to put money away in case. I knew I had bad knees, but had no idea that at the end of two years, I would be deemed disabled and on disability. I had no idea that many times walking from the living room to the kitchen would bring me to tears. I had no idea that taking a nice long walk would no longer be a part of my life. I was at least blessed to have some income and many friends who came through with support, I would have not survived the two years. Do whatever you can to put money away.
