What is your goal in life?

@Nelladell I'm sure I do. Life is what happens when you're busy making plans.

@ravenwind43 Very often very true, I think.

Yep .... the old "... while waiting for your ship t come in."

@Darksideinthenight2 Seems there is good company to be found almost anywhere.

@SW-User If you don't makes goals you will end up being fat and with three kids. 😐

@StarLily Wonderful goal. Do you have a recipe for gaining the ability to do that?

@Nelladell Focusing on the present.

@StarLily Sounds powerful. Thank you.

@ShadowWorker I love seeing your gratitude. Thanks for this.

@Nelladell good morning. 😊 thanks!

@ShadowWorker Hello. You are welcome.

@checkoutanytime Good for you.

@Carazaa Maybe.

Thank you for being nice to me here. It means a lot to me and I'm grateful for that.

@Beatbox34 You are a great person, please take good care of that body of yours. You can turn this around!

@Beatbox34 Am thinking of some of the wonderful things I would have missed had I not had the last 50 years. The rough and the smooth -- I am grateful for both. I can understand the desire to have the ability to opt out, though.

@hunkalove Thanks.

@Placetodream BINGO! I mean, me, too. Isn'tndthat what all the hoo haw is about? Don't we drink as a way to search for happiness? And wear makeup in hopes it will make us happier? And start smoking so we can be cool, make friends and be happy? I vaguely remember something about the song that says we're looking in all the wrong places --

@ABCDEF7 Ah. Thank you.

@Nelladell I am not able to think beyond what Swami Vivekananda said when someone asked him the same question.
[i]
"First to gain the knowledge and then help the world with that knowledge."[/i]

@ABCDEF7 Can't help but love Vivekananda.

@Carissimi Well, shucks.

@MoonlightLullaby I certainly see your point. I assume you would not have a problem with changing goals

@Nelladell That's just it ..
I no longer make resolutions, set goals or dream for a particular type of life. I haven't any spoteniaty or a lot of flexibility due to certain circumstances. I just live day to day and try to give life the best chance I can.💪

@MoonlightLullaby I am grateful to have heard it said that if we do the very best we can -- that's perfection.

@nedkelly Fulfilling your role as a family man? I applaud you. I truly do. Thanks for replying.

@nedkelly Yep. Back to picking the little petrie dishes up from school again as of next week. Of course they are vaqxxed now.😷

@Wiseacre Thanks for that. I don't know your age -- are you saying that because of your age or because of current events?

Maybe both...life has become ugly!@Nelladell

@Wiseacre I am sorry. I am. I wish you the best.

@whowasthatmaskedman Sounds laudable.

@Max13 I take that as an offer to visit with you if I should feel lonely. Thank you. It's the kindness I have come to expect of you. And it's why I am a bit surprised to hear you say you you may not be nice. I don't know if I heard that part wrong -- at any rate, thank you. I have been alone since my husband died in 2020, but I have not yet been lonely. If I ever do get lonely, I plan to remember this conversation. Thank you again.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Can't argue with that.

@Carazaa Can't help but admire that. Thank you.

@Nelladell Thank you so much for saying that ❤️

@Carazaa You are certainly more than welcome.

@Mamapolo2016 Sounds laudable. (Are you also into "physician, heal thyself?" or any other caduceus wisdom?)

@Nelladell Caduceus? Gesundheit.

@Mamapolo2016 de nada.

@ravenhill Thank you.

@BridgeOvertroubledWaters Focus on what's at hand. Sometimes very necessary, right? Thank you.

@iamelijah YAY on that.

@scorpiolovedeep Well, I love your view. Thank you.

Everyone will a different take on this …
Thanks for listening


@Nelladell

@scorpiolovedeep Nope. Nope. Thanks for your very welcome participation.

@InvictusIndigo I hope you find work that you are happy in. That would be -- well, it is what I wish for you.

@Peaches Good for you. I certainly wish you the best.

@Nelladell Thank you❣️🤗

@PhoenixPhail Bless your heart. Do you think it might be worth your time to look around inside yourself to see if you could fine the reason?

@Nelladell I still have a bit of hope that I might find someone to connect with. It's been so hard living alone, year after year.

However, with all I've learned about the death experience, there's such a great attraction to it, I keep asking myself why I don't just exit this ailing and damaged container, and move on.

I'm [i]SO[/i] looking forward to making my transition.

@PhoenixPhail Well, I am looking forward to it happily, also. But I am also looking forward to finding out what will happen next here. I look at my failing body and at the amazing tchings happening in the world and find it extremely excitin to see.

@Stereoguy Of course. Lots and lots of stuff. The stand-out thing is growth. Becoming. Thanks for asking.

@TessDun I wonder what you do to reach that goal?

@Nelladell I don’t know exactly. Maybe by being grateful and positive and by being contented while being self-sufficient too and self-loving in a healthy way. There’s a lot ;)

@TessDunYeah, there is. But It's more than worthwhile. Kudos.

@Oster1WOW! That's something too few of us accomplish. Best of luck going forward. And thanks for sharing.

@Northerner I can't imagine being bored. That must be -- just sad. Thanks for commenting.

@Nelladell Not boring ,I should have said less exciting.
lol

@Northerner I apreciated the edit. I am glad to know it.

@SW-User How loviog and giving.

@dontbekoi Well, I am wishing you the best. Hang in there.

@iamnikki Laudable.

@GuyWithOpinions Good way of life. I grew up on a subsistance farm where we did just that. Lived close to nature. Had to work with nature. Had to trust nature.

Nature children?

@SW-User Big thumbs up on that.

Thanks. Lol @Nelladell

@stound Lol. Thanks

@CrazyMusicLover That was our plan. Now with Covid we are stuck. Fortunately we have the nice place.😷

@SW-User I hear you.

@Zonuss Good luck.

@MonaReeves86 Well, if you know that you don't know, -- well, that has to be something. Right? Thanks.

@SW-User Sorry, I am missing your meaning.

@swirlie Aren't they wonderful??

@swirlie Now you also know that I very much appreciate it. Thank you lots.

@swirlieThanks for reply
