Thursday Thirteen

No matter how bad an experience is, you can always learn something from it, perhaps even lots of things.

Thirteen things that I learned from my accident and the long recovery period following it

1. I have plenty of good friends who were there for me when I was feeling miserable and down on myself. I love these people. There may be a few nasty wankers out there, but they just don't matter...

2. There is no sense to worrying about the future. Everything can be changed completely in the wink of an eye.

3. Being confined to a wheelchair is difficult and no fun at all. The words "handicapped accessible" are a joke. My heart goes out to those who must spend their lives like this.

4. Collecting a paycheck while doing absolutely nothing gets boring really fast.

5.My guitars are my friends! Writing music helped me to maintain my sanity.

6. Just sitting around adds pounds. Fortunately they do seem to be coming off more easily than I expected.

7. There are no kitties like MY kitties.

8. Ditto for my doggies!

9. My job is not as bad as I used to think it was.

10. BOB is not as bad as I used to think he was.
(Don't tell him I said that!)

11. Exercise is fun, especially when you're with nice people

12. I can literally listen to Michael Schenker all day long. In fact, I have!

13. Banking my sick leave was one of very few wise decisions that I've made in my life.
