Another Friends Day

in esteem •  6 years ago 

I love that you are never bored! I never can understand people who are!
I have always been very active and loved to travel. I have three kids, who are all adults now with children of their own, and I raised them to know that there is a big wide wonderful world out there. We did a lot of traveling and had many adventures. 20 years ago I started having issues with my balance and was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Because I knew there was a distinct possibility that I would reach a point where I would no longer be able to function the way I wanted to, I crammed in as much travel and adventures as I possibly could. And I am so glad that I did. I am no longer able to walk, or drive a car, and I can no longer leave my house unassisted, but I really have no regrets and am enjoying the life that I am living today. I have learned to appreciate different things than I did before and like you, I am never bored and am so grateful that I am still able live alone.

I am sorry to hear of your condition. Not very pleasant at all.
I admire your attitude and positivity, your courage and independence, and your living life to the fullest. You are my heroine, and a shining example of the human spirit. Cheers!

Awww, that's sweet of you to say! We all have to play with the cards we are dealt. And just about the time I get feeling sorry for myself all I have to do is look around and realize there are so many others who have so many more challenges to deal with than I do and it makes me count my blessings. Besides, I think I have more miles on my mobility scooter than many people have on their cars!, Before my husband died we traveled all over the United States and I have used that scooter to explore Cities and deserts and gardens and waterfalls and mountains! Most of the photos I post were taken from the seat of my scooter!

Surely, you are one shiny example of the human spirit. Have a great weekend!
