One day I was “handsome” well employed 35 yr. old male with all society said I needed to be happy the sports car, motorcycle, home, women, making great money living in Florida, I went on Vacationed and awoke 6 months later, burned over 60%, missing a leg and realizing life would never be the same. My recovery did not include anything I “possessed” before none of it helped me regain my health. The choice I had was simple rebuild or wither away there were no other choices. I chose to live. I had to change all my beliefs and drop all that I had held dear even the women I had been with came once saw the state I was in and never returned. All that was left was to reach deep down and find the strength to rise from the “ashes” (no pun intended) well okay it is intended. I had a choice rise or stay mired in self pity. I learned through all the loss that “happiness” resided in me not outside and most assuredly not in things or people, The “happiness is there available we just need to put aside all the distractions and illusions we think are reality and look inside ourselves, My favorite saying is: “IN THE MIDST OF WINTER “I”LEARNED THERE WAS IN ME AN INVINCIBLE SUMMER”
