I'm glad you're out celebrating life instead of mourning the past.
What a great e-mail to post showing how life's not over after sci!
Have a great time JT and post more often, it's good to hear about living with sci instead of dealing with it.

I have been waiting to send a message to the group. Last year on August 2 I was reading the 12 pages of advice, most of which I received from the quad list. I don't post very often, but most days I read all of the messages. I learned a lot in the past year, especially not to lose hope.
Instead of being sad or withdrawn this year on the second anniversary of my accident, I spent it with my new love. It was her birthday and I told her I had to go to work, even though I usually work from home on Wednesdays. I had her convinced that I wasn't going to do much for her birthday.
Instead of going to work I went to a few stores, purchased several presents, balloons, cards, flowers, two cakes, and a bunch of her favorite foods. I decided to make the most of the day and be happy to be alive.
Just thought I'd share, since somehow I feel like I know most of you guys. Thank you for being there in your own way. What a great support network.
Bye for now JT
