Why is peacewillcome's account closed? Is he/she deceased?
peacewillcome is very much alive, but like myself, is struggling with being able to continue to live independently with progressive disease and aging. We do not have the energy and time once enjoyed on internet forums. No reflection on forum or members, just existing with ever increasing limitations. I have left my account open, but since I cannot devote resources, maybe I should do the same. So far, I choose to leave it open in hope of at least limited participation.
Thanks, wavewolf. I was reading some older Threads, and enjoyed peacewillcome's comments. When I saw the gap between that member's last post and the closing of the account, I wondered if a relative might have contacted admin to close the account. I felt sad, like I'd lost a friend. I appreciate the explanation and hope the forum member is comfortable.
wavewolf, so happy to see you! How have you been? Hope things are better? Please do come by when you get a chance and when you're feeling well enough to do so!

So good to hear from you wavewolf, You have been missed and in my thoughts. I understand about conserving you resources. Did I say how much we missed you?
As for a need to get a job take it easy DJ enjoy your hols and quality time. i definitely need to heed my own advise. This month has been tough. the extra hours i've put into work is a gov delight in income tax. feeling bad i committed myself till summer. Sometimes i don't think its worth it. up at 5.30am and home at 7pm. Even cathing has to be done in a hurry. Feeling like the loneliest man on earth. forgone is my daily leg exercises, it just dinner, an 1hr TV and bed. oh how i miss a good laugh at the pub and yes that fast pub food we all love.
i have yet to hear of anyone complaining on their death bed that that have not worked enough.

Yeah I can imagine how tiring it must be for you. It would be nice to get some rest after I'm done this first year of school but after being so busy these past few months, I feel like I'd be extremely bored with nothing to do. Perhaps I can work part time haha.
As I was always told when I was young, if you have time to kill, work it to death. Or , make hay while the sun shines. I have also learned along my life's journey to always make time for yourself and your loved ones.
Something I learned from my injury,, and that I now tell anyone who is willing to listen, is this:
Eat dessert first!
You've only X number of days on this earth,, and no one knows what X is,,, so live like you were going to die at the end of the week,, and when that day passes,,,, do it again.

Exactly my views too.. I used to save most of my earnings and used to eat counting calories. But in the last 3 years after my injury, I ate lot of junk food and living life more than what I used to when I was AB. True that.. we never know what is going to happen and it is not worth to just stop yourself for future.

When I open this forum everyday, I really get some wise words from wise people like you.. Family time is really much more important than anything else.. much more worth than any money that you could earn during that time..
So I've got some potentially good news! I will most likely be able to get a job position within my university over the summer. I don't know the exact details of what I'll be doing yet however I'm going to find out in a couple weeks after I'm done my final exams. The nice thing is that they're flexible with hours which is great for me because it's tough starting early in the morning due to morning routines which take up to 3 hours altogether. I won't have to stay very late either so by the time my parents finish work, I should be done as well.
I'll keep you all posted when I find out more! Thanks again for all the responses and words of wisdom!
