gjgalligan, sorry to hear about your heart condition...

At a company I used to work for we had one VP who was always concerned or would fret, we titled him VP of Worry.

whenever you had a problem, you'd go tell Charlie, because you knew he would worry about it and spend time thinking about the problem, so, you were free to no longer worry.

Worked out pretty good...

Bendable - Live life and don't waste it on worrying. I'm 75, still working, and have a wife that still cares about me. My kids are grown and doing OK. Also with heart disease, I focus on enjoying what I can. Death is inevitable, I don't dwell on it! I have my hobbies and focus on that!
When the time comes, my wife will be taken care of (insurance) and I'll go as a happy man!

Hope you can get out of your funk and enjoy life!!!

Two months out of the year? Could it be winter months? I used to have those; it's called Seasonally Adjusted Disorder. Cure is sunlight.

As for worrying; I'm really past worrying now. Compared to 2008 when my 401k was cut in half, my million dollar home was underwater, and I thought I'd have to work until the day I die, I'm fine now. I've tasted retirement and that was a milestone for me. I can die any time now.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.
