alot to do
Now that I am in the later years of my life, I often think about all the things I want to do before I meet my maker.
One of them is to make a video library of all the pictures I have ever taken. I have a huge book of negatives and many scrapbooks. This was before the internet came along and as technology changes then I must change. Alot of these are nature photography photos that I took when my hobbie was photography, hiking, and mountain climbing. I just want people to be able to see the world through my eyes in the photos I took. I would like this to be my legacy.
I have no kids to leave anything to, just a few nephews and niecies, I almost never see, but maybe they could be a source of help later on.
I have a little over a year to go before I can go on SSI but I want to continue to work, at least part time. I enjoy relating to my customers and it keeps me busy.
I have been divorced now for over 2 years and I have a hard time looking at photos where my wife was with me. I get a very sad feeling in the pit of my stomach. I know I need to be thankful for the good times we shared, and I am but I can't help but feel sad. We had some happy times b ut we also had some sad times. Like my dad use to say, that's what life is so why am I not over it yet. I need to let go.
I don't like to complain because I count my blessings every day. I have what I need and I don't need much. I am pretty happy at the moment, however, I have had to cut back on my running from every day, to once or twice per week. My back pain seems to be getting worse but I think my weight may have something to do with it. I am heavier now then I have ever been at 245 and while that doesn't slow me down very much, it's like carrying around an extra sack of potatoes when my most comfortable weight is around 210 or so.
I eat alot of fruits but not as much veggies as I should and I have a sweet tooth. Not a good thing and I know I need to cut back so I will try a little harder.
Outside of that, life is good. I am happy in my own little world. I laugh alot, love alot, and thank God every day for the wonderful friends I have here.
God Bless you all!

wow! you have a lot of friends on DS! It\'s normal to be sad about a broken marriage. I\'d be more worried about the person that isn\'t. It sounds like you have managed to stay pretty healthy, so that is something to be thank ful for! I try not to worry too much anymore about who will care for me because, well I\'m hoping that won\'t be necessary. As far as the pictures, great idea! I was just talking to friend about similar thing, except I won\'t include ALL my pictures. But want to make a cd, and was telling her and she said, she wanted to do that too. Then I\'d like to put to some favorite music and make copies and mail to some people who were important in my life, but because of my decisions am no longer near to. You can find places online that will take your photos, negatives, old blk and whites whatever and scan onto a cd for you, if you didn\'t want to do it yourself. For about $100-$200.
