so instead of feeling bad about what others have and i do not, i try to use what ever physcal things i do have, and some day, learn to use my mind to accept my limitations.

to me they are a heavy load, to other's well. all i can really say is their not me.

the only thing i can say is to those who choose to critise me,

is walk in my shoe(s) for a week.

still stay sober and clean and accept who you are, not who you wish you could be.

me, loss vision three times, hearing twice, alot of strokes, big finally came suddenly.

it's only been 3 years but in 06 an anerism ruptered in my brain stem.

there's always hope for the better. it took these years to speak correctly so others would understand, to

practice over and over so i have excellent use in both hands, and believe it or not i retaught myself to

regain my balance by walking slowly on a speed bump in parking lot.( using 2 canes one on each side)

regular folks would jugde me saying i was an awfull dancer, they said other rotten things to.

then it really didn't bother me, if i had use of any part of body that worked, i'd make that one part stronger to

strenght the next one, over and over accross the span of 3 years.

still i wish one more thing, this i know i'll never be able to do.

if i can not spead my miracle to any one here,

maybe i can still send encouragemant the two words i know the best " I WILL"

i will accept me as is, i will keep sober and clean, i will ?

i can't see you, but at use the " i will" to begin to accept you, as it, and still be sober and clean.
