I don't blame anyone for how I feel. I don't need a reason for everything that happens because some events have no answer. In religious terms it would be something akin to saint Jude's prayer. If you were to meet anyone who has known me or lived with me they would attest to my happiness. My friends and family are my life and my joy is my fortune.
Many people think that handicapped people are depressed and living in a world of self-pity.
This may be true of any person but with a physically disabled person their disability is in plain view and it seems apparent that a person with such limitations would be unhappy. This is totally a false assumption. I don't feel sorry for myself because I am a very fortunate person. What I would like to get from other people is their realization that life is only what you decide it is. There's no easy road unless you think work is easy.
