Why Do You Still Care



With senior years, life gets too short. So what are the things you should avoid now?

Spending time in a damaging relationship - Don’t you think it is about time that you think of yourself? Whether it’s for a , a partner, a relative or a friend, it’s time to think of the good things for yourself and nothing more that shall give you baggage or shortchange you.

Trying to please everyone - You were not born for the other person. You need not make decisions to_ please the other. Neither are you to_ do favors for meaningless people.

Fitting yourself in society - It’s not time anymore to_ dance with the people around you. You started living by yourself, so live as independently if you can. You need not worry anymore if people will accept you or not.

Taking risks - You do not gamble anymore on what’s uncertain. Believe that risks become greater for someone like you.

Procrastinating is no longer your business - Never put off things that can be done today. Tomorrow is never promised.

Avoiding what will cause you pain - Stay in your comfort zone. Refrain from working too much, especially when gets too physical. Stop worrying for what will affect others.

Trying to_ escape the reality of your life - Time to_ accept the kind of life you are now having. Pretending to_ what you do not makes you miserable further.

Giving away your and time - Do not waste your and time for others. They are old enough take care of their needs financially. Helping is condoning their bad practices.

Finding your joy, peace and comfort in solitude. People commiserate with you, a degree. They will not go out of their way please you all the time. You should learn be happy with what is , what gives you peace of mind and what gives you comfort.

Am just sharing a topic I posted in another blogsite I have. There is so much truth in what is said here. With my age of 70, maybe I should also say this, "Why Should I Still Care?"But with Filipino culture and tradition, I believe, we will always still care.

Yes, it's our culture to always care, irregardless of the situation, even if at times, those people involved once caused us pain...We still care, our heart cares, unconditionally.

My unico hijo was jobless for a year, due to pandemic. He did not want to come back to the USA and work as an RN. He just wanted to keep his hopes high that he will land a good job in Dubai, where he wanted to live, not in the USA where we owe our good life...Maybe because he knew that I will be there to support him, no matter what...So, you are right, now, it's time to take care of myself....So Help Me God!

Happy new year Ta Jane. We should always care about certain things in life specially those that will make us happy and give us enjoyment. For others, caring is their happiness and security.

Welcome back Che! Happy New Year too! Sometimes we say we don’t care but this is mostly lip-service. We do not nurse a stone heart ever. The pain is there, forgiveness too but in the end the grieving heart suffers more so we truly care no matter.
