Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

I am hitting the big 70 next week (15th),,,my family is gone ...single and no relationship to speak of ,,,,still I try and maintain in good spirits but it is hard on occasion.. I have 5 cats which definitely raises my mood substantially.. I suggest that for anyone going through some bad times,,,you don't need to go to that level,,,I did as I volunteered at our Humane Shelter,,, I am a very soft touch,,, my cats are actually more human than most people I know ,,, dogs are great but they are mostly much higher maintenance.

Hope the dog days of summer aren't getting you down!
I agree with the notion that the love of and bonding with plants and animals is both gratifying and therapeutic, but I'm quite incapable of choosing a favorite species. Greedy wench that I am, I wants 'em all, even the ones that don't make good pets. I'll give up my humans long before I give up my critters.
much I don't know. My mother took in two stray cats after
I left home. But I never had any even though I would like to.

I like your idea of volunteering - beit for cats, dogs or feeding the homeless. Always good to meet people, talk to people face to face, and help others (humans or animals).
70 is the new 50!
Finding happy moments with your cats is wonderful!
It's great to volunteer!
If I were close, I'd throw you a surprise birthday party! So what we on DS is we share what we would bring to the party! I'll start with a cake, what kind of cake do you like?
I got ouched this summer!
70 is a nice round number and, to be honest, a liberating age. Who do we have to impress at this stage if our life?! When I was younger I always felt very self conscious wearing hats, but, now that I’m 71, I’m totally comfortable wearing just about anything on my head and couldn’t care less if it looks silly. As long as it makes me smile I’ll wear just about anything these days. It’s all good .. most of the time anyway.
