Channel: ☀️softypapa
Date: 2024-01-11

🌿 In this poignant video, I delve into the challenging story of my elderly neighbors, Bob and Laurel. Their journey through illness and the loss of independence starkly illustrates the unavoidable realities of aging, and what I refer to as "The Horror Show" in the Good Life Creed.

☀️ THE GOOD LIFE CREED ☀️
This video reflects on one of the harsher aspects of life - the inevitability of aging and decline, as seen in Bob and Laurel's life. Their situation is a powerful reminder of why I adhere to the Good Life Creed, a daily practice that helps me navigate through the complexities of life. Learn more about the Creed and its application by visiting my website, GoingAlone.org, or explore these themes in my book Going Alone—hardcover recommended.
