Different Perspectives and expectations (Off topic)

[Guest guest]

1.Those of us who cant stand out of our wheelchairs wish we could

only stand. Life would be so much easier to get dressed, go to the

toilet, get into a car or get into bed unaided.

2.Those who can stand wish to take a few steps.

3.Those who can take a few steps wish they could walk easily with

crutches.

4.Those of us who walk 100 metres unaided complain that they cant run

anymore.

5. Those who can run along the beach complain that they twisted

their ankle.

Being in catergory 1. - Give me number 2 and I'll be laughing, as I

will never forget what it was like to be at number 1. As a person

progresses in disability, they are grateful for the small

improvements.

How absolutely true this is! And beautifully written! Which brings me to

my point... I write for a magazine online... MS Musings. Could we possibly

reprint this in my magazine?? I would, of course, cite you as the author...

if you would tell me the name you'd like attributed to it.

Just thought I'd ask... beautiful and makes you think!

hugs,

the URL for the magazine is: http://www.msmusings.com/

(in case you'd like to go look and see if you'd like to be included)

by the way, Car, the editor, is always welcoming new writers
