Have you ever lost

I have loved these old car since early 80s. Owned and built many. Some cool, some just old Mopars! I graduated HS in '66 for that dates me as 76 today. But at 76, i have medical issues and so hard to get up and down without help. Just life. But its hot in Tx half the year, 95 and HI of 115 is hot! But cooller weather will arive in NOV!!!!! I hope that helps again!!

I love learning something new, so 2-3 years ago, I bought a couple of projects, 64 Comet and 66 Fairlane. I always wanted such. That help's my interest level. I would be working on them 8 hours a day, but can't do it physically in the heat. That depresses me. I need to get down to just one done car! I am woreout!! I have a 62 Lancer that you can not give away and I refuse to part out a good project. I have a nice 75 Hornet, nothing car but I love it! I need to get down to just one done car!!!! like the Hornet, but I HATE trying to sell off any old car of mine! We know how bad that can be!!

So today, I have not worked on any of my cars in a week, just depressed. My health issues depresses me, and now I find out my beloved little dog is diabetic, his eye site is failing, and trying to determine what insulin levels he requires. Sad.

But, when I am down, I always try to realize there are many people out there with bigger issues than me, and God will give me the strength to deal with life if I ask. I said, He will give me strength, I did not say I should be given a NEW body!!

What gives me joy is the small things in life. Just to walk out there and see a car that I love, or just to be able to still drive one down the road a ways, even to just be able to fire one up and listen to the exhaust tone. That gives me joy and takes my mind off the bad thoughts of one day maybe, NOT being able to do these things!!

I say: Find joy in life, do the things you love to do while you can. NEVER say, I will do these things I love after I retire. So many never reach that age!!
