Re: [QUAD-L] Quality of Life and SCI ~~ Huh?

[DAANOO]

So true Sandy.  I think the secret is keeping busy, and a good attitude. I rarely think about the past.  Enjoying doing everything you can in this new life, that we are newly given at the time of our injury.  I enjoy having friends online and getting out as much as I can to do the things and go places I enjoy.  Having contact with persons who know nothing about your disability, but may be interested being new friends.  I have a lot of fun going places with my little Yorkie, it enjoyed is amazing how so many people talk to you, because they love your dog.  Ha ha.  It makes people of all ages and sexes feel unconscious about your physical differences.. Dana.   Nicely put Sandy. I ditto it! .......... Tim   [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have found you can't live in the past. You can't dwell on what could have been or you will die of depression and a broken heart. In the short time I have been part of this group, I have made some interesting observations. At first I sat back and listened to everybody. I found all of us have strong convictions and strong opinions and strong personalities. And I believe that's why all of us successfully survive and LIVE with our severe disabilities. Others simply give up and die. About the infamous "quality of life" question everyone seems so interested in asking us, they should live in our chair for a day, a week, a month, a year. For me the key is all attitude and keeping busy. We must all keep fighting and searching for what makes us satisfied and content. It's out there somewhere! Sandy How low will we go? Check out Yahoo!
