As a result of living a long life - I have been in many chaotic situations. But after completion of my Jungian therapy over 8 years, I have been able to summon up whatever it took to not just endure but to add successes to those chaotic times. Don’t ask me how - seriously! But each disadvantage was turned into a success. Somewhere inside me I had learned how to do that. I’m 75 now, 76 next week, and feel I have a lot of good life ahead of me. Not by the numbers of my days, but by the quality of my choices. I am not an optimist either! LOL
