Patient Advocate (old timer, 2000 posts) Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | I am 74 and just buying another home. I enjoy everyday of my life and still try to sing and make the most of everything. Yes you are older then me but I am going to do my best to make 100. I live alone and do every thing for myself and even my trips during treatments were mostly alone. Get that attitude going that you are going to live a few more years and think of reasons why you should including being with relatives that can make you smile and be happy. get a nmindset that you can and want to sing and keep doing it. Iknow most of the words and some of the voice ranges are hard and hurt at times, but do the singing anyway and think of the words to the songs and what they mean to you and youe life. My words are sincere but I have no other way of oralizinfg them. I put words down as they come to me and the way that most peple can understand.
