<< I am so afraid I will have to live with this forever.>>
Dear CKBower et al.
TM is something we here all have to live with. Whether we want to or not.
In the grand scheme of things and in my humble opinion, we are alive and
still able to do some good in our lives and/or for others we may inspire. I
know we'd like to have our bodies back the way they were prior to being
diagnosed with TM.......
BUT...........as with everything .....some do and some don't. It is what we
do with what we have that makes the difference. I know we are all strong
individuals here, with enough spirit, courage, and resolution. Lets not
forget our tenacity. With all that going for us, lets put it to good use.
If in our struggles, we fail to reach out and help a friend or a stranger, it
is only due to our inner resolution to try to attain what we lost when we
were first knocked down with TM. I have had many years to become comfortable
with my "condition", so I may be in a different place than many of you. In
my travels in life to get here, I made myself a promise to always try to be
there for anyone who may need whatever I can give. I may not be able to
provide physical strength to help, so I try to provide emotional strength.
Sometimes it works and sad to say, sometimes it doesn't......but I won't stop
trying. You see ....there may be one more person hiding out there, to afraid
to show their face who may really need my hand......and to them I am holding
it out......take it, hold it and know that I care.
This group has done far more good than not, for the many who have subscribed
and also unsubscibed (due to being active again), with that I applaud each
and everyone here.
I had to get that off my chest with the recent postings to the list and to me.
Thanks for bearing with me thru it.
Smiles to all,
Kris~
