I found it to be certain types--some folks had lives harder by far than mine, who just shrug about it when you ask, and some who are almost crippled by a past full of not much but (comparative) luxury.

Some of us are just wired to carry scars and some aren't. It doesn't make either right or wrong, it just is.

And yeah, some of us just have rotten luck. I knwo lots of folks starting over again at later ages. My mom is back in school, and even if she works well past retirement age, she may only get a decade out of her new career. BUt I asked her when she was hesitant--if you were to kick over tomorrow, what would you rather be doing? On the road to your dreams coming true. or trudging along toward nothing?

Keep fighting.
