At some point in each persons life the question comes to mind; What is my purpose here on earth,and what task am I asignd? And why was I born into this world of such fleeting joy,and pain. And if life is a predestend thing,then what will my efforts bring. And then sometimes when trubbled thoughts upone the mind doth play,we seek relife through flowing tears,or maybe we might pray. Or perhaps we might request some wiser ones advice; What rout a tranquil life to find, and tell me What the price? Should we let empires like those of past be born of sin then fall? And when we have span a lot of time will death then end it all? These thoughts and others crowd our minds until they almost bust. But if persistents bids the search the answers come to us. The basic thing we must accept is that God supream exsist; Who made the universe intire,and placed us in it's midst? And gave us natural laws that we know,so that order might prevail. Then the test of life for us tha we might pass,or fail. He gave to man domenion over sea,and over land. The creation was compleated once he made and called us man. Yet man too must adhid to laws his purpose to fulfill, the one basic task asignd to him is submitting to his will. For this alone he shaped our forms,and breathed within them breath. Then sent the prophets to explain the existence after death. He sent the books to guide our lives,and to make our habbits right. Then made us think of all that is in contemplated light. He brings to mind some other men whome might examples be,so that man may follow in there steps and learn humility. But the knoledge of creation is premeasurd from within,humility it's propper use, misuse relabled sin. So if we live our lives correct,and follow laws devine, no problems in this trubbled life would then confuse the mind. No worries of tomorrow,or the problems it may bring; For earthly burdens like this life is but a passing thing. Theres but only one certainty. This phase of life WILL END....... But man has not the knoledge of how,.......or where,......or when.

You know.... Life don't always go the way we expect,the plans,and preperations for the direction we have chosen for ourselves can get stopped dead in there tracks. People you know,or thought you knew will start to respond,and react towards you diffirently. (But keep in mind...All people are not that way.) You'll find that that has always had your best intrest at heart will always be here,and the others will start to fall away like leaves in autumn. Funny how hardships,and set backs introduce us to our real friends! Thats why it's so importent that we don't let the way other people see,and feel about us dictate how we see and feel about ourselves. Acceptance..espeacially self acceptance is paramount if we are to get better physically,and emotionally. Our problems are only as big as our reaction to them.Like the saying go's... We must accept the THINGS WE CANNOT CHANGE,and move foward. Healing comes with acceptance,and forgiveness of oneself first. I remember not long after my accident I ask my brother to come hang out with me like before,he refused,and said something to the tune of "I need time... I have to get use to you being like that." Needless to say I was CRUSHED... MY OWN BROTHER... ASHAMED OF ME??? I lived in that pain for awhile stumbling around feeling sorry for myself. But then I got up in the middle of night to go to the bathroom without thinking,forgetting my situation,took a step,fell and burst open every stich in my stump. Thats when it hit me... HELL... I HAVE TO GET USE TO ME ALL OVER AGAIN. People,and situations will continue to be just what they are. It's how we take it,or react to it that determines weather we are able to move foward. And move forward we must to catch up to the speed of life,to move towards independance,and selfreliance. It's time... We must redefine,reconstruct,and remake our reality.

Hey Rick,
JOThanks for your insights. You always have words of wisdom that I learn from.
I am doing a little better, but my latest loss is bringing back memories of losing my leg. I do have better coping methods now, but it is still difficult.
Anyway - I hope you are hang'ing in there! And thanks for always helping me out.
