I have lived with PTSD since 1991 when my husband died right before my eyes My last words to him were: “be careful.” He was knocking ice off of a lean-to roof and the whole thing collapsed and broke his neck My advice to anyone is this: “If you have someone to love, tell them everyday.” #wordsofwisdom #love #ptsd #ptsdrecovery #tragedy #peopleofspringfield #springfieldmo #theozarks #happymonday #finditliveit #purpose #purposeband

Animals can be lots of things. 1 thing we can learn from them is to give love. Give love to yourself, your family, your friends, your colleagues and even strangers. When I ask people who have lived for decades and grown into “their senior years,” a common statement is made. Love is what really matters. Through the thick and thin of it. No matter how much money they made, lost, pain they endured, etc. Having something/someone to love and also being loved is what they say is most important. So try to give a little more tomorrow and the rest of the week and see what happens. #love #purposeband #peopleofspringfield #springfieldmo #theozarks

You can extend a hand to lift someone up or you can use the same hand to push someone down. Both actions will be remembered. One will be met with disdain. Which will you do? I want my epithet to be: “he helped me.” As a team, we can make this. Individually we can’t Marriage is like a garden. The more you tend to it, the more beautiful it becomes. We’ve only been married for 3 years. We went to school together but didn’t see each other for 60 years. We both lost our spouses in 2013. We ran into each other at a school reunion and started talking and then walking together. After losing my wife, I was ready to die. She made me realize that I still had some life left in me. Why not enjoy it? #marriage #happymonday #purposeband #peopleofpurposeband #springfieldmo #peopleofspringfield #love

Talk to God. Pray I couldn’t make it without God’s help I feel like there’s only half of me here since my husband died in 2013 We were married for 59 years, 10 months and 17 days.

I didn’t think I would be a #teacher but I think it was my #calling You have to make it fun for the kids I’ve been on my own since 1970. My husband died when he was 44 while working on his motorcycle. He was supposed to pick our children up from school but he had a heart attack and was just gone like After I retired from teaching, I worked for the #nationalparkservice . I got to work in #denali , #thegrandtetons , #mountrushmore And #glaciernationalpark . I got to go all over. It didn’t pay anything but I loved it! . I got to go all over. It didn’t pay anything but I loved it! #417 #purposeband #peopleofpurposeband #springfieldmo #happymonday

I don’t know my #purpose . #god does. He may reveal it to me, he may not. I do love to #cook and #love to #entertain however!! I think we’ve lost God When we were kids, we came home, put our play clothes on and played outside until dinner. #kids these days come home and slam their doors and stay #isolated while on their phones. Kids need to get #outside , make #friends and #play The world is so alarming these days #springfield #springfieldmo #peopleofspringfield #family #417 #purposeband #peopleofpurposeband #family #hope

I need to volunteer but I have clinical depression and the last time I went into the nursing home, I cried and that didn’t do any good for anyone. I’d like to go back to work! I’m darn lucky to have two kids who both turned out very well. I went with the flow. I was raised in the country. I did a lot of farm work. I spent my childhood working hard. Then I went to college. I didn’t like it. I didn’t like being required to take subjects that I didn’t like. So I went to work. I went to work as a secretary. I went to a bunch of typing contests and won a lot! I just liked to work. My depression set in at 18. I didn’t date. I met this guy at 21. My mom told me he was no good. But I decided I would make him over. It didn’t work though. He was a womanizer. We divorced. Then I met Bill. We’ve been separated for awhile now. He is far too passive of a person and he’s lazy. I gave my children my attention when I was single but when I met Bill, I started leaving them alone with nothing to do and I didn’t like doing that. I regret that! I’ve taken care of our homes and made them beautiful since retiring I’ve got 4 grandkids and 5 great grandchildren and they don’t want my advice. They don’t want Grandma’s advice so I wouldn’t give advice to anyone younger than myself. I’ve enjoyed life!! I’m scared to death. The lord is showing us what he can do right now. This kind woman did not want to take a picture. #peopleofpurpose #peopleofpurposeband #peopleofspringfieldmo #springfield #happymonday #wisdom #417

At a loss for words. Our hearts ache. My heart aches. We don’t know what to think when things like this happen. It reminds us how precious life is and how it can end at anytime, anywhere. Hurt people hurt others. If you are hurt or lost, get help. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. People will listen. They will help you in any way that they can. If you know someone who is hurting, don’t ignore it! Do something! Show compassion. All we can do is love and help one another. I can’t imagine all the people affected by this tragedy and what they are going through now and forever. #showlove #iwilllisten #helpeachother #lasvegas #vegas #love #hope #peoplehelpingpeople

In this world of give and take, there are too few willing to give what it takes. I don’t want my life to be a waste. Do you want to be turned into dirt without doing anything with your life? Do you really want to be used on this Earth? Prepare yourself in every way and God will use you. Prepare yourself spiritually, physically and mentally and God will have to use you. That set me free! For the first time in my life, I wasn’t trying to go get something. Instead, I made sure that my heart, mind and body were right. I was 20 when someone confronted me with that question and my life has never been the same. #purposeband #peopleofpurposeband #finditliveit #god #happymonday #springfield #springfieldmo #springfieldmissouri #theozarks #livingwithpurpose #lifechanging #buffalomo

I want to leave the world a better place. I'm a #conservationist. I hate seeing degradation of nature. I hate seeing poaching, littering and just lack of respect for #nature and #animals I'm in college now after serving in the #military. You can find whatever you want in the military. If you want to find something good about yourself, you can. If you want to find something negative, you can do that too. I have no regrets about my service. My advice to teenagers would be that the things you do while you're in high school will stick with you forever. #purposeband #highschool #springfieldmo #theozarks #purpose

I just want to do my best to make sure that my kids are taken care of before I leave this earth. #purpose #peopleofpurpose #purposeband #springfieldmo #springfieldmissouri

I'm an artist in the studio of life. I make art & share it with others. Your life is a masterpiece! What are YOU creating? Life is a creative process. We create both individually & collectively. Be mindful to what you take in. I will watch one segment of news. The rest of the time, I listen to music. What you take in influences what state you will be in and what you put off to others. Be purposeful, kind, encouraging, and of courage. Giving generously make life better for self and others. That state of being drives my thinking, painting and work with others. #purpose #purposeband #peopleofspringfieldmo #theozarks #finditliveit #serveothers #yourlife #doit
