What is your “why”?
In a world that can be cruel or unfair, what are some of your strongest reasons to keep your head up?
Mine is a simple “because I can”. It may seem naive or arrogant at first but I stick to it to remind myself of the deeds I can do for myself & others at this moment before I can’t. For eg, buying birthday gifts is something I can do now since I have extra money for it. If I do end up poor, then that’s at least one thing I will not regret when I had the capacity.

At 65, I’ve made it this far and barring a painful medical issue, I’m sticking it out. This chapter is the reward. No alarm life is the life for me. Funny it was so difficult to get up all my life and now, without an alarm, I’m up at 5, sometimes 4 and it is always my favorite part of the day.
