STRESSFUL TUESDAY

AH!!! It's going to be one of those days !!  Hubby is having his yearly check-up today. One year ago he was diagnosed with Occular Melanoma, he won the lottery on that one as to it being a 1 in 6,000 chance of getting that particular cancer. I won't go into all the different cancers he has endured during his journey of life that is described in my book. He has been ill for several weeks now, usual winter ailments so we will see how this visit goes today. GOOD LUCK MR. B !!!                                                                                                                                        It's funny when you think about your senior years how you never figure major illnesses to be accompanied with it. You make your plans when you are young for retirement but so many different paths along that journey take you in different directions. Children come along, a mortgage, too many bills to count so you get misdirected as to the savings for retirement. Before you know it your 40's have arrived, time to get cracking on those retirement savings for sure, yeah OK, God bless the ones who can achieve this goal, but we have discovered life gets in the way, We did manage to get something saved but not as well as others. We all have worked hard to get here but some just did better than others. God Bless Them! Like us i am sure many will have medical bills follow them to the grave, so do i pay the bills or sock it away for retirement, i guess it depends on your priorities, ours were to pay the bills, they would get the monies anyway !!                                                                                    Some of our friends and relatives spend some or all  of their winter be it in florida or arizona. Florida patrons can go sit on the beach and have a beautiful view of the gulf, ocean, bay. We are blessed with a view of a waiting room full of people waiting for their Dr. appointment. Some get to travel the highways and by-ways of beautiful America in their travel trailers, we get to fight the Dan Ryan expressway going to downtown Chicago for the dreaded Dr. appointment.  Ah !  priorities !!  Now don't get me wrong these people have worked long hard years to have gotten to this time of their lives so please ENJOY!!                          I guess the point i am trying to make today is life is full of stress, some days are easier than others, sure plan for that retirement however you want to just please enjoy your youth too, you never know what those senior years are going to bless you with.                                             I will keep you updated on Mr. b's outcome my special readers, so TA-TA for now.                                                                                                                                                                                                 

  As you may have noticed in my other posts  i love winter pictures so i will be adding them to the posts.
