Hi Jesse, it is so good to see you in print. You have been missed. Your writing is thought-provoking and most relatable. Of note:

I've even sent in my ballot, voting ahead of schedule knowing I will make a difference.

(Yes, every vote counts; very vote makes a difference. It doesn't matter what side of the aisle you are on.)

I'm sorry that Grace, your caregiver, is moving on. I know that you grow fond of your caregivers, and I believe that all of them have been fond of you as well.

I liked your father's saying, "The only constant in life is change."

That saying jogged my memory to when I used to work. I also had a saying ... "The only rule is...there are No rules."

I also liked:
Everything starts from now.

(J, the above is so true.)

Jesse, your writing is heartfelt. I'm cheering for you that One day You will walk across the room with No help at all. How wonderful that will be. Till then. There is hope.

It's so good to see you writing again. One of the best things about FS is that there is always a Light on. Someone is always there. Someone is waiting for someone just like You. Well done. Margaret ~ LateBloomer

He'll, Jesse, it's good to hear from you. I love your post, it's very honest and insightful. I know many can relate to it.

I can relate to your personal essay. I suffer from anxiety too. I also suffer from depression but thanks to medication I have been doing well for the last seven years. Finding the right medication and doctor is hard, I am grateful I have both.

Have you thought about asking your doctor if you are depressed? Feeling the blues and depression are different things. But you know best.

I have a hard time with the end of relationships. I understand losing caregivers must be hard.
End of ...

Walking is good for us, well done. You have a positive attitude and that's wonderful.

I voted early too. :)

Hello, Jesse,
I love every morsel of your narrative and the positive attitude that is embedded within it.
You pose a number of thoughtful commentaries.
I especially appreciated how you personified your desk - and the approach/avoidance concept it holds for you.
Always remember: "Nose to Toes" Anything is possible; that is for certain!

Much enjoyed, Jesse.
Thank you for sharing!
fondly,
diane

This is where we're at and I feel sorry for you that you are dealing with this particular problems in your life. It's not a very comfortable feeling to know that you're losing someone that you cared for. I wish you the very best and I do hope that God will comfort you. Patricia

Good for you, Jesse! You keep up that walking and slowly but surely 'expand' your walking path... gives you a wonderful sense of accomplishment for each 'expansion' and the increased physical exercise makes dealing with 'the desk' a bit easier... :-) Thank you for sharing such an important and personal part of you with all of us... Go Jesse!! ;) ;) Yvette

I think it becomes increasingly difficult to deal with change as we age and keeping up with our commitments presents a daily challenge when we have ill health. The loss of friends who we care about can destroy our self esteem and make us sad. A poignant post Jesse. Keep your chin up, tomorrow is another day and the sun always comes up as nothing changes there, love Dolly x
