Heck, at best, we hardly know what is in our own best interests, let alone anyone else's. "Put yourself not in charge of this, for you cannot distinguish between advance and retreat. Some of your greatest advances you have judged as failures, and some of your deepest retreats you have evaluated as success." Let go and simply be at peace.
Your wife is an incredibly independent person. Sometimes we have to learn to navigate through life learning how to fen for ourselves. Glad you both found each other.
She certainly is D, it was one of the things that attracted me to her. Yes, we have to learn how to develop our independence and we were most fortunate to have found each other. Many thanks.
Spirituality!! Esoteric? Now I know your are my kind of soul. The conversations over a camp fire. Not looking for a partner per-say just a tribe. No one gets me in this world.
And within that tribe you might be amazed at how many people do get you. I've found that there's someone for everyone, it's a wonderment. Many thanks Lisa.
Thank you! Great message. Multiple months -long wait for specialist care is not just in rural areas. I live within two miles of a hospital system with a lot of attached specialties and it can be a few months wait....
True, Lories son lives in the middle of a large city in Michigan and has a long wait for wisdom teeth extraction. Years ago I had a dentist tell me that less people are pursuing dental schooling because of the high start up cost , regarding the tools and equipment, in setting up a practice. I can see that point but can't help feel there's more to it than that. I remember visiting old fashioned "Do it all" dentist that you could see within a week wait or immediately in an emergency. Thanks for the input Rita.
Love your story. My husband had Parkinson. It eas a stormy , thunderstorms and had to run with him in a wheel chair to car and not get wet. It was impossible to laugh and nor feel sorry yourself. Finally ready to go, he looks at me and says I needed a shower. We were both laughed.
Indeed Mary, I've lived with post polio paralysis for 72 years, humor is what's saved me from steeping myself in sorrow and making for a bitter tea. Many thanks.
Beautiful story, thank you for sharing. I found the part about being able to receive love particularly interesting. I'd be interested in hearing your advice for those who have a low sense of self-worth and how they can overcome that. Childhood trauma, disability/deformity or past negative experiences can bring someone into a crippled state of self hatred. Are there ways for one to cope with such a situation so they can be more accepting of themselves and of the affection of others?
Slowly coming to understand that you are not the character in this seeming world that you have mistakenly taken yourself to be. Having a little willingness to question this and to ask for help/guidance to see differently. If this is the intent you can be sure direction will come your way. That direction can come in many forms, from books, videos like these, therapists/counselors, even a casual encounter. Meanwhile know that what you are in truth is innocent, invulnerable and eternally loved!
Personally, I spent so much time alone early on in life that I'd developed a sense of self, that while acknowledging societies viewing me as an impoverished crippled orphan, I simply refused to accept its limitations. Because where would that have left me, not any place enjoyable. It took me considerably longer to advance in mainstream society than it would have if I'd not had a physical disability and was raised in a loving supportive family, but better late than never. This is why I'm an advocate of periods of prolong solitude. In solitude it's just you with you absent of any social reference points. Now you can focus on what you find acceptable or disagreeable about yourself. By examining the root cause of where this low self esteam originates, we expose it's roots and are able to pull them up and toss them aside because they're both unwanted and not needed in our development as how we want to be as a person. This is all very subjective however. Those persons who seem to take pleasure in saying "Yes, I'm an asshole" will simply become "Better assholes." Lao Tzu: "When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be." Many thanks Steve for your thought provoking comment contributions.
@@wildernesshermit Thank you very much for the detailed reply. Your insights are always extremely interesting and you've given me a few things to ponder here.
Learn to meditate. As with all worthwhile endeavors, practice improves performance. Self-introspection can be somewhat disquieting, but it offers insights that can be acted on. We all have our place in the world, and I would bet that yours is not to be a doormat.
Great video, big fan of the long form content. I have a question: Do you follow the news at all? Do you keep up with events around the world? Conflicts, politics, trends, etc.
Lori not only keeps up with world events she has some great commentary that I plan on sharing. Many thanks, particularly regarding the long form content.
Yes that along with peroxide with water is what I did for 5 days until I could get out of the house. It brought out the infection and I was able to drain it. Thanks for the advice 😊 Lori
I always look forward to your demeanor and candor.
Many thanks for your continued kind words.
What a great story! She's a keeper for sure❤
Indeed.
Laurie's a real find 🎉✌️, as are you, for sure 👌👍
9:13 omg! You nailed it for me ☕️
Very good, and thanks for letting me know.
Great to see you back on TH-cam. I enjoy your channel! See you here again soon!
Thanks Michael.
Thank you so much for sharing your stories. You make me feel so much peace 🙏. Hope Lori continues to heal ❤
Many thanks, she's doing well now.

So happy to see U!
Thanks Rich, every once in a while I feel like making an appearance LOL.

Glad you two are ok. I had just thought about yal today thinking seems like its been awhile since you posted. Lol great to see all is well.
Thanks for your thoughts, I sort of post on a whim rather than a routine LOL
@@wildernesshermit All is well. Enjoy the content regardless of when you post. Life happens lol.
Lori sounds like an amazing woman!! I too am blessed to have found my soulmate, it makes all the difference!
Lori's a wonderment. Yes, when you find that soulmate companion it contributes to ones quality of life in innumerable ways. Many thanks Amelia.
You have to manifest what you believe in.
Absolutely Shaun, absolutely. Thanks.
Oh yes. Unconditional love.
Really enjoyed this one. I think the minimum video length should be 15 minutes! You can entertain those among us that have an attention span.
Absolutely Jim, I appreciate that. I'm not creating these videos for the TH-cam masses or revenue. I make them for my TH-cam "Friends." Thanks again.
Lori ☕️🥰☮️💜
Paraphrasing Father Richard Rohr, the best you can do is to put yourself into a position where the ever present already here grace can find you.
Perfectly said. Many thanks to you and Father Rohr.
GM 🥰☕️ I had to change my settings so I don’t miss you ((((🔔))))) ☮️💜
Many thanks.

For future reference: Warm saltwater rinse would have saved you all that. Seriously, rinse with saltwater for any teeth problems. It works!!! 🌼
That's right Brenda, Lori did frequent salt water rinses which helped her get by for 5 days. Many thanks.
Yes that along with peroxide with water is what I did for 5 days until I could get out of the house. It brought out the infection and I was able to drain it. Thanks for the advice 😊 Lori
