Are We Blessed - Or What?

[ProfessorDave]

Seriously. We are blessed living in TV. Even on a bad day for us - it would be a GREAT day for 99.9% of the people in the world. At some time everyday, I find myself saying to myself "I'm so lucky I found this place." Scheduling golf so easy here! If I want to make new friends, booking myself solo with a group going out has almost always been a great experience. Booking a few times each week to play with close friends is awesome; if we play badly, there is always breakfast or lunch together to look forward to. Granted - I'm terrible at golf - but - it gets me out of the house - keeps me active - and socially it is fun. Wish I learned this game before retirement. BUT, better late than never. So thank you God - for leading me by accident to discover The Villages. And yes, I really enjoy this frustrating game of golf.

I agree 100%.

[CoachKandSportsguy]

Any problems here are really very first world squared problems. And peeps should be very thankful that they have a place like the villages to go to retirement day camp.

not a lot to complain about living in The Villages when you stop and look at what's happening around the world and in other parts of the US

Totally agree

[Sarahlime]

What a great place to live.

[Nannyof3]

I’m with you all the way. There’s no Garden of Eden but TV comes really close.

[Kgcetm]

If you’re not living in The Villages you’re just camping out.

[dblwyr]

Thank you for the upbeat message, and the reminder to be grateful for all that we have here! Wishing you and everyone great days every day!

[Ken Lee]

Totally agree. Its so nice to see a positive post for a change. This place is my little slice of heaven.

Be thankful. Your next breath is someone else's last. Don't worry about things you can't control.

Some old people here will always be complaining about something that, in the long run, is really meaningless. For the most part and for the majority of people, this place is truly the best place to retire than anywhere else that we could ever hope for or desire.

ProfessorDave, you could not have said it any better!! Every day, I wake up and I praise G-d for my blessings. Thanks for posting this.

[Kevinwitgen@yahoo.com]

Awesome message! I think you are 100% right. No place is perfect, but this is by FAR the closest thing I’ve found to it. I love it here, & the only thing that might make it better for me is if I can get a couple of my buddies back home in Michigan to move here too. Thanks for your post!

[Bay Kid]

So much to do. So many friendly people. Golf until you drop. Everything you need a golf cart ride away. Always beautiful and clean.

We are all so blessed!

Hear Hear!! :):):):):):):):)

[TheMoyers]

You should get a Pulitzer prize for your post. I often get turned off by some of the petty complaints I see here. We are living at the 99% percentile of life. Your post was SUPERB.
If you are not an inspirational speaker, you missed your calling !!!!!

[MandoMan]

I’m with you all the way. There’s no Garden of Eden but TV comes really close.

I once read a book that claimed that the Garden of Eden was in the jungles of the Congo basin in Africa. If that’s the case, then at least The Villages has the heat and humidity right for the Garden of Eden. Even an occasional serpent.

Wow so many nice messages I think we broke a record for nice message , the villages rocks

Yes, I totally agree. We have friends in Nigeria and one of the young men sent us a video he took through his window because he was too afraid to go out on the street where there were young people protesting the crooked police and government being beaten and one being shot right in front of his eyes. Yes there is social unrest everywhere, and we are blessed to be in a place where we do not have to fight the government and lose. These protesters-as we saw on the text-were unarmed, and yet the video text showed one young man continually beaten by paid thugs so that he couldn’t even get up off the street. Another unarmed man was shot in the head, part of his skull blown away. Forgive my being so graphic, but when I think of the horrors our country in the past few months and civil unrest around the world, I am so grateful to live in peace of The Villages.

Totally agree! It's like living in a resort year round! :mademyday:

[applecruiser]

I agree 100%.
Absolutely!!!

[newwillo]

Amen to that !!!!!!!!! All of it !!!

[Sunflower33]

This post was a piece of fresh air. Finally positive people with positive attitudes. I’m so tired of the ugly politics so thanks for making my day better. Bless you all.

[Villagesgal]

Moved here early at 45 years old, been here 20 years. I couldn't agree with you more. I thank God every day that I moved here, it's not perfect, but it is an amazingly wonderful and beautiful place to live. So nice to read so many positive things on totv.

[Buzman]

Whenever my wife and I want to get out of TV for a few days (for a break from the lifestyle) we try to find someplace to go where it’s nicer than home. Problem is, it’s tough to find a place to go that’s really nicer. You really need to step up to some five star resorts to find someplace nicer in terms of food, golf, entertainment, environs, etc.

No we aren’t blessed. We pay a lot of money and it depends on expectations reality etc

[KRM0614]

Wrong

[dewilson58]

No we aren’t blessed.


You are blessed by God and what God has given you.

[CWGUY]

Wrong

:ohdear: WOW!

[SacDQ]

The wife and I are here 18 months and love it here. Like everyone else COVID-19 has put a crimp on a few things we used to enjoy but we’re still gland we made the move.

[FenneyFanatic]

I appreciate the positive sentiment and agree completely!:clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2:

[Red Rose]

TV is the best. I thank God everyday for leading me here. 🙏🙏💖

Well, there were 28 posts that made sense before these showed up.

[lsuitor]

Absolutely and what a purely positive reminder! This applies to both men and women and is so true.

Thanks so much.

[Mamaderby]

Most definitely!

[sdaubner]

Boy, there always has to be one😫

[Dennys37Packard]

Agree 10000%. Some people bitch and moan about mundane things and I always say, Leave it alone, stop complaining or getting your blood pressure up. We live in a great place, clean, active, and vibrant. Why waste your last years worrying or making enemies. Just find something to do and go have fun.

[Nucky]

:ohdear: WOW!

Don't think I'd like to stand next to dat poster in a Lightning Storm! :boom:

I think we are coming up on the 5-year mark and still love this place with everything we've got. I've personally never met a real dud in person. Most people are wonderful.
