Do you truly enjoy life these days?

We try and believe me some days are very hard. Barely able to walk from my injuries in May, facing more leg surgery 1/11, and the Wife starting Chemo for lung cancer the day after Christmas. Even though it seems bad, there many more that are facing worst.

I am reading the Little House on the Prairie books and just loving them. The way Laura and her family take each day, each season and each challenge as it comes is inspirational.
I read how she and her sisters loved school and learning so much that they didn't want even weekends to interrupt.

I (me, a guy) don't know what it is with women and "The Little House on the Prairie". It's like a cult. When the first two notes of the TV show's theme came on, guys shouted, "OMG! NO", and in a millisecond switched the channel. Women entered into this altered reality, watching it. ??????

Yes truly enjoy living. Just being alive and plodding along each day waiting for the grim reaper doesn't appeal to me.

Ditto. I much prefer finding things to do, be excited about and happy about. Problems to solve. Improvements to make. I'm not the type so sit idly by waiting for death.

The original books are absolutely brilliant, well written by a natural gifted author , telling an accurate description of the hard lives of incredibly courageous pioneer families. Few of us could endure what they did, the cold, hunger and sheer graft.

The Hollywood series are nonsense, all over romanticised as usual.

I am so sorry, life is a real challenge for you. I wish strength and comfort comes to you as you need. God bless you. X
 
I remember a radio show in the evenings on a local NPR station, late 1970s. We had a local book reader famous for his daily readings for the blind via FM-SCA broadcasts (multiplexed with the main signal, special receivers mainly for the blind).

He read "On The Banks Of Plum Creek" once. It was a pretty good story.

I should have added that the books were part of the "cult". :(

Here's hoping for a successful surgery for you on the 11th, @old medic . How is Mrs. Medic doing with the chemo?
Hugs for both of you. 🫂🤗
