   Normal:> have been doing that, life has not improved but at least I find some   
   redeeming educational qualities about it that I hope to apply to my next   
   lifetime.   
      
   I've already lived at least 5 different lifetimes in this life alone.  Right   
   now, I'm in a stall because of health issues.  This *could* have been my time   
   of greatest productivity, but instead, I'm nearly completely stalled.  The   
   worst part is the total    
   lack of motivation to *do* anything (because of a brain embolism.) It feels   
   like a spark plug has been removed (or more accurately, blocked / dampened.)   
   But I can tell you for a fact, as long as you've got typing skills, an   
   internet connection, and your    
   health, you're in a position to rebuild your life.  (Well, the typing / net   
   components are absolutely required, but they sure do help!) I kept pursuing a   
   tangent and ended up in a position where I could see infinite possibilities --   
   the sheer amount of    
   possibilities overwhelm the decision making ability, so nothing is chosen.    
   It's like being in weightless orbit, or perhaps completely adrift in space.    
   But the one thing I can tell (for now) are the things I will NOT be doing:    
   I'm over 50 years old now,   
    so I won't be doing any more (or as many) youthful activities.  Until or   
   unless I get this brain embolism removed, I can cut out the entire range of   
   strenuous physical activities.  With the diplopia (caused by the embolism) I   
   can cut out visually    
   critical activities.  The somewhat retarded (slowed) and sometimes dyslexic   
   math processing throws out numerically critical activities.   
      
   To be honest, I'm kinda what they call "jammed up."  Fortunately, there's a   
   Bible verse that comes in handy at times like these:  "Be still, and know that   
   I am God." -- so I figure this is just a time for me to shut up and listen for   
   a while.  Something    
   will change -- something always does.
