All used up....

   I'm going to try and not make this a morbid post.  In the
past I have gotten a bit depressed and made some fairly
depressing statements.  That is not the case this time.  We've
had beautiful weather and I've had a fairly great summer. 
I've been in a good mood about 93% of the time since I
swore off of politics and although there is still that blasted
7% that still drags me in now and then I have been able to
cope with that.  So I want to state right off this is not one of
my usual 'Take me now Lord' posts..lol
    Fact is.. Things wear out.  Just tonight the battery went out
in my truck.  (It had a good long life)   This morning the peanut
butter jar went empty and had to be put to rest. Everything has
an expiration date.
   My question is when do we consider ourselves all used up?
I think I'm close.  But every time I think about  my lack of sleep,
aches and pains,  constant fatigue, upset stomach from the meds
and such,  I see people with far more problems than I can even
imagine just living life and smiling through their day.  I am
truly ashamed of myself sometimes for complaining.
   I have a friend on You Tube that was born with one arm..
another with deformed hands and shoulder.  Yet I watch them
overcome their situation all the time .. camping, cooking and
such and you never hear a complaint or excuse out of them.
They just adapt.. work through the problem and go on with their
day.  How easy would it be to just say 'I can't do that'
     I wish I were that strong.  I am finding out that when I  get
up from a restless night of three hours sleep,  nauseous, with
every joint in my body aching the best thing I can do is simply
jump in and start my day.  Just make the best of what you have
and thank God it isn't any worse.
     So am I used up ?  Yea pretty much.  But I still have spark
and a little gas in the tank.  Yea it may be a weak spark and
stale gas but I'm still running !  So I guess the only thing to
do is strap on a smile and go at it !   I will take  motivation
from my less fortunate friends.  And yes I have told them what
an inspiration they are to me and many others
SO DON'T CALL THE JUNK YARD YET .. MY TIRES
ARE BALD AND MY TAILPIPE'S SMOKING BUT I'M
STILL PUTTIN'
