"There is a profound beauty in hearing someone who has lived a full century speak so candidly about what truly matters. We spend so much of our youth chasing things that eventually fade, only to realize the quiet moments were the main event. Thank you, Mabel, for sharing this raw wisdom. Your truth about presence hit me the hardest—it’s a gentle reminder to slow down and actually live the life right in front of me."

I started to worry today after seeing my rent go up. The gas bill and electric too. I said to myself what is gonna happen next year. I started to worry again. No more i said im not gonna worry. It does nothing but steal my life. I'm gonna enjoy my life for a change.

Thank you , gentle soul, for sharing your truths about finding one's own happiness! As Proverbs 27:9 says, "Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of a friend springs from their heartfelt advice". You have much to be shared with the world, and it shows by your loving words. Your family and all who know you are blessed by you. <br>I understand the feeling of being lost without someone, though my story is different than your own. I have found comfort in the Lord, for He sticks closer than a brother (Proverbs 18:24).. and now I know I was more lost without my Savior, the God who sees me, than I was without the partner I put my trust and safety in the hands of. May God keep you and bless you and your family, and please, keep the insightful and encouraging words flowing ❤️
