Monday brings its own set of concerns usually, so I will dispense with all of that. I will get right to it. I was asked this weekend “How does a man that is 65 years old, have nothing?”. My keen sense of humor had to be put aside, so I could answer. LOL. Technically, I am Poor, that is the answer. However, every bill is paid. I do not owe anybody, anything. I have good friends and even some family left. Anyone knows that knows me, I have worked hard and still do to be this “Poor”. I also do not have to explain anything to anyone. That is another perk of that hard work.

This little Marble writes this in the hope, as I always do, to give you hope that no matter how “Poor” you may be, the true measure of wealth is HAPPINESS. Things do not bring happiness, I know, but I do my best to have the things I need and want. People measure both wealth and Happiness by the things you have. How wrong they are and sad. They do not have a clue. I have many things. A great Car, A Vespa & even a new Motorcycle. A small but cool Apartment with a small but cool Landlord too. LOL All of thing help, but do not eliminate the Depression, Sadness, Struggle that I go thru everyday, no matter what I own.

I am still sick with an incurable Disease, Diabetes. Permanently Disabled and have a whole host of Health issues that do not get better. None of those “Things” or a Million Dollars can help any of that. I maintain my own sanity by not depending on any of that to help, cause they don’t. I can be happy in a Box on the street if need be. Thankfully I don’t have to.

Yes, I am 65 and I have nothing. Nothing but Happiness. Most think I am unsuccessful, silly, even stupid. They think I should keep trying to be rich. I already am. I am retired. Working and want for nothing. Sometimes times are tough and the economy is not making things easier. Easy has not been my way for a long time, so I do my best to simply, Carry On… MM
