Starting over

I'm single again, a widow. Married twice, divorced once. I just went through breast cancer. I had surgery and a round of chemo, and things are looking good so far. I wonder if it is worth starting over again in my late 40s. I have scars; they say some will never completely go away. I used to be proud of my body. Now I look in the mirror and wonder if anyone would want me.

Spiritual part of life has nothing to do with the physical part. The journey of life has to be lived until Life permits. The remaining time of life has to be invested or spent, as it can never be stored or refrigerated for later. Even if it was possible the question remains what to do then!

Ask yourself whether the image in the mirror is you or the one perceiving the image is you?

Now I look in the mirror and wonder if anyone would want me.

The mirror only shows your outlook/ body. So you have convinced yourself that you are the body and you were wanted for your body. So first thing you need to do is to remove all mirrors around you. And then you can know yourself more.

As Bertrand Russell said A new world began 5 minutes ago, you can begin a new chapter any time. You don't anyone's opinion on the matter.

PM me if you need some encouragement and willing to gain a new perspective for remaining life.
