Ready for Bed

I'm in bed, ready to crash for the night. Buddy is snuggled up beside me. He's got two or three of his toys at the food of the bed. He's so funny and so much company to me. I've suffered through a tremendous amount of depression due to my back injury, the intense, and continual pain, plus my inability to resume my life prior to the injury. I've been trying to work through the depression and learn to life with the physical limitations I face daily. It's been difficult, but I think I've turned the corner, so to speak. I've determined the tasks I can accomplish while the scope of my limitations. I have to recline on the couch (I can't sit for long anywhere), or I prop myself up in bed. Well, some of my favorite activities can be done within those convines of my mobility issuesl. I can write, read, knit and work on my new PC on the couch or in bed, or out on the porch in my lounge chair. That way, I feel like I've accomplished something at the end of the day. I want my talents and my life to count for something. I'm still able to make a contribution to society.

I'm about to fall to sleep, so I will close for now. More later...
