I know that many of those in their final years are depressed to one degree or another, and I am no exception. In earlier years, that depression was mostly due to boredom. To counteract my now increasing depression, I have been working hard lately at letting go of things that negatively affect my mood. Of course, politics is a prime example, but it goes beyond that. I want to forget all of those things and just live the rest of my life in a “Life of Riley” mode.

Getting rid of negative things, and keeping my life active with stimulating activities are my goals in life now. It is that simple to me.
