Danny,

You are typically content with your life, but lately you find yourself remembering the good ol' days of youth and wish you could turn back time to the era you were most happiest.  Your life has been a struggle and though you see your situation better than most, you still can't help feeling as if your life has passed you by.  There are certain regrets for things you wish you had done and now feel that it's too late.  The day to day life is slowly bearing down on you and you are starting to feel the pressure from it and it is making you feel somewhat discontent and find you are wanting more that what you have.  This frustrates you because in the past you have worked hard for what you have and never wanted more than what you were able to provide for yourself.  Not that you are materialistic by any means, but finding you want to have some things for pure pleasure.  You feel you are just living day in and day out doing the same routine everyday, just a different day.

You are never too old to do anything in life.  We see time is working backwards on us, we are born and then we start to grow up and become adults, but when we get even older in life (age) we revert back to the child mentality.  You see a lot of people in their 80's or 90's, they go back to acting like a small child.  Very beautiful to see because it proves that no matter the age we are at in life, we are still children in the eyes of God.  So go out and do the things you've wanted to do, but never had the opportunity to do.  Enjoy what you want out of life.  The only thing God asks all of us is to remember to do good for others when you see it is required of you.  Its not the bad that we do in life that depicts who we are, it is the good that we don't do.

Danny, yes that is true.  I am talking in general when I say this, but we see people living on the streets and we do nothing to help them in anyway we can or anyone for that matter.  Children ridden with leukemia, homeless families, abused individuals, we often see one of these or all of these in our lifetime and yet most of us do nothing.  I have a sense of sadness because I cannot help everyone.  When I see someone that lives on the street, I try to give them money for food.  I have donated locks of hair to the Children's Leukemia Society so that they can make wigs out of them for children who lost theirs through chemotherapy.  Fed the homeless at a shelter.  Small things like that is still doing good.  You can still do good for others regardless if you have money or not.

That is wonderful that you took the time to talk to this individual.  It meant more to this other person than you really realized.  Life can be lonly without friendship and it is frustrating to see one worried about trivial matters yet do not stop to think of those out in this world who suffers far beyond what we are going through.  If we just take a moment to think of those less fortunate than we are, we would see that our situation is not that bad after all and can be dealt with.

God Bless
