So I recently signed up for a weekly e-mail letter which has writing prompts to get your writing juices flowing. The prompt for this week was about an injury…how did you feel…what happened…etc. This was the most recent injury that made a huge impact on my life. It was a very long three years and I quickly wrote for just over ten minutes.
One last thing….please feel free to share my web page with others. I am gradually becoming less shy and nervous about letting people see my writings! I am even going to attend my first Open Mike Night this Sunday…if the winter storm we are expecting isn’t to severe. I am thinking of using something from here…let me know which one you like best!

You really captured the pain and emotion you were feeling really well. It made me cry, but that is a testament to how good it was.

ouch! those knees…. never know what an incredible feat of mechanics they do for us until they don’t! Hey, I unsubscribed my old address, and re-subscribed with a gmail account I’m using for all lists and subscriptions, etc. Just wanted you to know when you see that “unfollow” message it’s not really an unfollow! 🙂

“The Knees”: Beautifully written!! In my old age I have finally found out that suffering makes us better people in the end. How would we appreciate the good times in our life if it weren’t for the bad times? How would we grow in life if we didn’t suffer and test our strength? How would our love for others grow if we didn’t suffer through trials to test the depth of our love? Our sufferings always test us, but the joy we receive when we pass the test is always worth much more than the sufferings (i.e., having the love & support of your family during the journey).
