Each one of us has had struggles and accomplishments. Each one of you is amazing in your own way. What makes you feel great about yourself? 


For me it's about giving back to others, my Rehabilitative Tai Chi sessions that I have  been able to provide and to celebrate victories with each of my participants as they overcome challenges and the support I have been able to provide to the communities and people who have supported me in my time of need. These things make me feel great about myself, knowing that I am able to help others in need.

After having to use a cane for 8 years just to walk, I've been off a cane for 1 full year now after bariatric surgery helped me lose 110lbs. I take one or two 30 minute walks around my neighborhood per day. It's a miracle, really, a miracle of hard work, being off a cane.

Relearning to walk. I don't need canes (too often) and since docs said the tissue damage would mean my skeleton could never support me again? Took a few years, a lot of work, and therapy, and crying, and determination, and... Yep. Like Muji, I'm able to walk without cane (most of the time). Every step is a joy! Painful as it is to keep up the exercises that keep things "okay enough"? THat's what I'm proudest of in recent life. WALKING.

Oh, and not losing my sanity, but that one's ongoing...

This is so excellent! Leo, it is hard work. I paralyzed my left leg from disk damage in my back. I was in a brace for 5 years. Doctors said I would never walk again without the brace. It took a lot of support from friends, but I am able to walk pretty normal these days. That’s why I say Never give up. There is always hope. Thank you everyone.

    Hiya My internet is changing today and I'm not sure how long the switch over will take, I'm hoping 24 hours at the most, but I'm probably being too optimistic We are changing to another company and going full fibre for the internet. But at least it's changing to the one payment rather than the payment for the home landline phone and a payment for the internet. So I'm not going to be on here...
