Amputee life before and after...

~ReStarts~

I decided I want to write a book. I think it would be really interesting.
Especially if I started at the very beginning of what I can remember,
which is my story that is at my other site. As I think perhaps i really
started this journey when I rode out of the driveway starting life out
in the BIG world waving good bye to my parents as i sat next to my
new husband. We were on our way to Pennsylvania where he was
from & I was eager to escape the small little town out in the middle
of a National Forest. It took me till adulthood to realize, its really God's
country up there, and there is really NO place like HOME--.no matter
where you grew up.That is my First major restart as I now call them...

I think of how many ReStarts I have had... I count...5 possibly 6 major
restarts from the age of 20 to 55. and I survived them ALL ~!~!..
I refer to major change, location, lifestyle all of it..at ONCE.. Some
of the changes of course due to divorce...some due to stupid.. some
due to health... but ALL restarts, starting from scratch ...

The hardest restart? hmmm.. well I think the second was very hard..but
I made the decision to leave the life I knew and walk well I rode..but in
a car ..away.. and never went back. I was..26. I left a whole chapter
behind... This restart in 2000.. was very hard.. well is STILL very hard..
and I think because of maybe my age, but I think more is the loss of
legs that is THE main reason it is so hard. I could rebound from a
divorce or loss of material things.. I could do more to replace them..
but how do I replace legs that have made me more dependent.. well
TRYING to make me more dependent? And I think I had no choice but
to make this restart.. I did NOT choose to lose my legs.. I decided
to do the other restarts ,, by choice..

I think If I had NOT lost my legs to restart after a divorce I have done that
before.. so that I dont want to say I was accustomed to.. who would get
used to getting a divorce...whether your first, 3rd or 10th...I would have
more ability to provide for myself.. just having a vehicle..and a better
income and a better lifestyle would be easier for me to get if I had my
legs... With out them I am limited as to what I can really do..safely,
economically and have the ability to live a better lifestyle.. Not saying
this is that bad..no no..but It could be greatly improved on.. I would
have a better way to provide for myself a better quality of life.. is
what i mean I think...


So I thought well..if I put all these "Escapes" thru this life of mine all in
ONE book... that I could get RICH let alone FAMOUS.. and just think..
if THAT happens.. you can say "WELLL I knew her when she first
started whineing and telling all she knows on that weblog" lol..:-)
So.. ok.. now.. the question of the day is.. whos gonna help me get this
published? :-) and the 2nd question of the day is... "WHO remembers
when my birthday is?" hmmm? I warned y'all take notes there could be
a quiz at ANY time :-) LOL..
.
Speaking of starts.. Me thinks its time to start my nightly refrigerator
raid. so I am off on my nightly run .I made some killer cabbage rolls this
morning and I think I may need ONE more taste before this day is
done. They were so good.. I am SUCH a GOOD cook!!! (Donnie
is on his way to come and pick up his) :-)


Y'all have a good one now y'hear? Luv ya.. & thanks...
Always, Lois ***

May God Bless you today,
I'm so honored to call you friend,
I pray the Lord will keep you safe,
Until I write again...

    Dear Lois,
    I thought every one knows it's 20th. January. A card is on its way!! And you NEVER whine - you are not the type. You ALWAYS look on the bright side, bless your optimistic heart!!
    The book sounds a great idea and I'm sure you will find a publisher. Have you got anyone who can edit the text?
    Anyway, hope this is the start of something really good for you at last.
    Lots of love and big hugs,
    Raife

    Morning Raife, You just have a good memory lol. I've never written one before so I have NO idea what I am doing. But I think it might prove interesting to write one. No one will probly believe it :-) that one person could go thru that much in a lifetime and still be SANE lol...
    Have a good day today...:-) Luv ya...
    Always, Lois***
