Valerie,

As the adage say, "You are only as old as you feel." I commend you for what you are doing. I am caring for a family member at this time and it's like a full time job. Continue doing our Lord's work, it ain't over til' He calls us, comes back.

Thank you Ms. Valerie for these encouraging words. At 62 years young, I am. Blessed to be able to still workout with the youngsters in the gym, thus it keeps actively seeking other things I want to accomplish!!

well I'm 48 so I still have a long way to go my problem is I don't have much of a work history I get frustrated and quit most jobs because every boss/manager don't want somebody as smart as they are working for them or it's a company that simply cycles threw people which when I tell people this they just think your crazy oh that's not how it works people will treat you bad if you let them it's just in our nature we are just and extension of the animal kingdom which know one wants to except but be very glad your threw most of the crap of this thing called life

Sounds like your a people person as well as a giver (those that honor others while assisting ). There are numerous hospital and health care facilities that hire seasoned people, a person of great experience/time on the earth, to drive patients on a daily basis.

God Bless You
