Today, while moving into my new place, I saw my new, elderly neighbor sitting on her porch. I cheerfully greeted her with, "Hello, how are you?" She simply rocked slowly in her chair and replied, "Just waiting to die." She was the most cheerful person I met all day. FML

Go back tomorrow and talk to her, cheer her up and ask her about her life. It's always interesting to listen to elderly people talk about how the world used to be.

I use to do gardening for an old lady like that. She was in her 90's and every time I'd ask her how she was she'd say, "well, I'm alive so it could be better." Sometimes she'd help in the garden even though it exhausted her. If I told her to rest she'd say, "no, if I drop dead, just chuck me in the compost." She wasn't really miserable, she was just ready. She was my favourite client, and she's still kicking because I saw her last week driving a flash new sports car.
