Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I'm not that excited about getting a new car.  Impermanence is ever before me now.  Will my eyes hold or will I not be able to drive tomorrow, if the macular degeneration gets worse?  Will my age cause other health problems or the ultimate health problem?  Is something new exciting for someone my age?  Not really.  Things.  It's all things.  Things to disperse to my children and grandchildren.  We are going to downside our house, and I won't be so excited as the other times we moved.  Because we will get rid of most of our stuff, and it's a temporary abode for only as long as we don't need assisted care.  Not having stairs may not be enough to keep us independent.  That's not fatalistic thinking, it's seeing what is so.  I'll still enjoy the car and the house.  But excited?  No.  Nothing compares to family and friends at this stage of life.
