50+ Check In July 5 - 7, 2024 Midway Point 2024 🙌🙌

...See more Happy weekend 50+ Community!! 🙌🙌 Hope this post finds you well!  2024 is midway point. As the months go by we experience many things in life such as loss of a loved one, health issues or interpersonal issues or financial issues etc   Many times people take a moment to ponder looking forward the next 6 months with goals on how to finish 2024. An action plan of sorts.  Remembering the people you loved who is no longer here, the good things that happened to you and how you trying to do better are always ways to do self care and bring JOY ✨✨✨to your daily life is so important.  Browse the questions and answer any questions that you prefer and all responses welcomed.  * How do you feel now that we're halfway through the year? Are you happy with what you've done so far? * When you look back at the last six months, what things do you remember the most? Why are they important to you? * How do you handle it when you wish you'd done something differently? What helps you move on and look ahead? * Can you think of a time when something messy turned out to be beautiful in the end? What happened? * What does it mean to be strong, especially when things aren't going well? * How will you change your approach for the rest of the year, based on what you've learned so far? * Describe the greatness of a person you cared about this year and have lost for various reasons. How do you cope with that loss?

Looking for assistance to navigate life...

...See more For those who don't know me, I'm a 49 year-old man in a wheelchair with a spinal cord injury. I'm a returning citizen, and I have had a heck of a time finding a job, finding a place to live. I have certain needs, but for the most part, I am independent.  During my incarceration, I suffered a mental break down and I have been diagnosed with severe depression and generalized anxiety disorders. I have symptoms of PTSD, I get overwhelmed and get stuck in a constant flight mode.  My journey towards recovery has been extremely slow, extremely full of obstacles, and I keep making mistakes. I have no family, and no real life friends that I can lean on for assistance (emotional, physical, financial).  I am not looking for financial assistance from any one individual. I have applied to dozens of apartment complexes, I have contacted 211, findhelp.org, HUD, my state's housing development authorities, everything I can think of, but to no avail. The answers range from "we have a multi-year waiting list" to "we don't do business with felons." At this point, I am looking for ideas, for help, for something new to try that does not involve being constantly overwhelmed. I have been looking for government grants and loans to buy and retrofit a house to live somewhere quietly, and peacefully. Does anyone have any ideas? Does anyone have any pointers?
