Lizard, my family, yarn (Lady Anne), bingo, video games to take my anger out on...

I live for whatever I'm doing at the moment, because that is what my life is in that moment, and to reject the one is to reject the other.

About eighty years, usually.

I can't imagine how hard it must be for you (and kiwi) to struggle with this condition. Not the same, but I had an older brother who had mental health issues most of his life but wouldn't seek treatment, much less stay on meds. (Used to be called paranoid schizophrenia, then renamed schizo-affective disorder.) Stay strong for your child. I know how hard it is to try to fill in the gap with a fatherless boy, so I can relate completely. We have to keep going for our children's sake no matter what.

Living with depression and having suicidal thoughts from time to time, it's the only thing that pretty much keeps me from offing myself. I can't imagine leaving my daughter behind without at least one parent. Her dad is already gone.


There are no words I can say that will make the recent loss of your dad more bearable, myotherself, other to express my heartfelt condolences.

Undergoing medical treatment is a huge cross to bear, dcnovice & hejira92, so I wish you both well and wholeness, and admire your courage.

Everyone else, I deeply appreciate reading your beautiful sentiments.

A few things. The children I haven't yet had the opportunity to conceive, carry, and raise - but hopefully will someday. The books that have been in my head for a long time but aren't yet on paper (or e-book form, these days) and published. And either there's a God, or there isn't. I'm inclined to think not but can't be certain. If there is, S/He isn't done with me, or I wouldn't still be here. If there isn't, then this ride is all I get, and I'm not yet ready to climb off.

I love the phrase "oncology adventures". I have been on my own oncology adventures in recent months and have probably have had some of the same contemplations.

I think I live for things similar to most- my family. Serving and loving Him give me strength and foundation, but watching my kids as they sprout wings and become adults fills me with endless joy and yearning to witness the next chapter.

I also live for those precious moments when one of my students gets turned on to science or gets that special light in his/her eyes from understanding. And what really gets me going is when a teenager thanks me for being an important adult in their lives.



Thanks for sharing that.

Since I'm in the middle of changing occupations and some other things as well,

I'm not sure.

Strange isn't it?



No, not really. I think a lot of us do not know what we are living for, and have to think twice.

Apathy is rarely terminal, though. Life has to get pretty grim before it stops beating the alternative...

So they say.
Still, I think it easy to be caught in life's problems, and be overwhelmed. And so it is good to stop and think once in a while - what we have, as opposed to what is bothering us. It feels like the problems are more - noisy?? So sometimes it is good to seek out solitude and calm, and think it over a bit.



egern -> RE: What do you live for? (10/15/2013 12:58:12 PM)

I have tried to figure it out..First came up with my family, my cats - people who need me..

Nature. When I am out there, I stop looking for the answers :-) I just am.

Striving for a better world. Yes, a big mouthful for sure, but you can do your own bit, just your own bit.

And when I feel overwhelmed by that, I try to go out in nature, and I stop worrying and start being.
