One of the problems of being a Russian in Russia

I heard a very sad fact today. Most Russians don't live long enough to be happy in their 50s and beyond like in the rest of the world. So, they die unhappy in their 40s and early 50s (especially in middle class or poor in Russia) without being able to enjoy the fruits of their labors of working all those years.

In my own case the happiest time of my life has been since I was 50 after almost died of a heart virus for about 8 months.

So, I went from a very frustrated and angry middle aged crazy (which is what most men and women go through from anytime from about 37 to 50 to 53. However, you have to get to being grateful for every single day left of  your life.

Otherwise, Why be alive at all?

So, if you can take good enough care of your mental and physical health and have a little money to retire on somewhere you might be happy the rest of your life just like most people in the world who are alive after 50.

The trick is being grateful for whatever healthy days you have left and whatever relatives and friends that are still alive. So, you wake up happy because you still have one more day of life to enjoy.

So, being a Russian in Russia for middle class and poor people isn't a happy place to be so one would be angry, very angry and want revenge like I did in my 40s during my divorce and child custody court sessions that cost about $75,000. However, the money was worth the effort because I have a really excellent and happy relationship with my now beautiful 25 year old daughter and we still travel to places like France, England, Scotland and Hawaii together with my new wife(of 20 years now) and my older daughter's daughter's boyfriend and my new daughter (now 18) so we are having a really great time traveling the U.S. and the world together now since then! So, all my anger which caused my heart virus in the first place is over because I realized while I was dying of a heart virus that if I didn't let go all my anger my then 2 1/2 years old daughter and my then 9 year old daughter and my then 22 year old son were going to have a dead Dad which which wouldn't be worth much to them. So, I refused to die so I didn't and became a whole new person like the angels that surrounded me when I thought I was dying told me when they said to me, "You aren't going to die! Your life will get better now!" And 8 months later it did. Because after passing out without panicking for months and an Angiogram and electrical heart stimulation I was pretty grateful to still be alive at all. So, after almost dying for that long I was pretty traumatized and pretty happy God and the angels let me live on for my kids and wife and friends and to travel the world and to write this blog for you here at blogger.com
