Akua wrote "If I could get ANYWHERE, I would go" I thought of all those on this list who would love so much to be able to go as Akua said, "anywhere". Here we are going on about "not" doing something and for "what" reason and there are friends of ours on this list who do not have the choice. I have at times wanted to scream at my closest friends because they could just get up and go!! I can't carry a plate from the sink to the table. I have almost become obsessed with watching how people walk. How quickly they turn around and go thru a doorway with not a thought about it. As they say "it is what it is" You know that "face" we put on for people.... mine is beginning to show alot of "wear & tears"..... But as we have been finding out on this list people are realizing "talents and gifts" they never knew they had.
