Rewind

As I sit here I realise that I am a very fortunate man. Despite my hardships, I am able to be outside in the sunshine, to have a wonderful house and garden and a humble disposition of gratitude. It is being aware of my frailty and acceptance of what is good and bad in my life that I can enjoy what I have.

I have worked hard this past week. Presiding over a crisis in Open Roads. I took control when I realised that I was a neutral party and had to do something to keep the team together. Things in the team are still a little fragile but building a successful team means going through the bad times together and keeping an eye on the ball. We aren't in this for ourselves. We are driven by a need to improve the lives of others living with a major disability.

Since my last post I have had Carmen's birthday, a surprise visit on Father's day, some major changes in Aide de Vie (which have resulted in me leaving) and the Open Roads crisis above. I have been stronger lately as I was recently helped with a replacement manual chair. My powered chair, now unused, is left on charge whilst I await the modifications which will hopefully improve it.
