Re: Fwd: [QUAD-L] 45th Anniversary!
I hear ya Larry. I have experienced all those things and more. It is overwhelming at times. I've been given antidepressants and sought therapy at times - especially after the 18 month period when my Ex told me he was gay, my father died and my mother followed. I don''t know why I keep going - there's something within me that won't let me give up. So, I'll keep it in high gear ... and you'd better keep trying to catch up!

RE: Fwd: [QUAD-L] 45th Anniversary!
Happy belated. Just keep it in high gear and then the years seem to fly, I'm only 23 years a quad, but will be 75 in a couple of weeks and I'm not sure how to keep up with everything I want to do. But I do try to enjoy something special each day, making somebody laugh unexpectedly (like the orthopedic Dr. who came into the ER and said to his two brand new nurses this is a C4 quad, she broke her leg, this might be the only time you will observe this so pay attention) and was laughing like it was the best joke of the day. I'm enjoying the master gardeners program through the University of Nevada and am trying to develop some good ideas for raised gardening that will work for our dry, dry Nevada weather. We just started 1000 seeds for our seedling business this spring, and the hardest part was deciding which ones I wanted to grow and having to eliminate some of my favorites. So the next nine weeks will be very busy. Luckily two of the grandkids like to help of. Enjoy showing this year, I really miss the show circuit, will see if the youngest granddaughter likes to show and ride horses-she is just four and so far it's a go.
