Wither me....

Here I am sitting in front of the computer and staring at the screen. What am I going to blog about? I had been reading lots of other blogs and marvel at those bloggers who can find so many interesting topics to talk about, whether it is about babies, children, families, pets, travelogue, food, cooking, baking, job, current events, the political scene, etc, etc. Admittedly, I often run out of ideas on what to blog. I must be getting real "rusty" and run-down. Or I am too much of a private person to reveal my innermost feelings and thoughts.

Recently, I read about a book entitled " Against Tall Odds" by Matt Roloff. Matt was born with a disability, that is, he is a little person, or in other words a dwarf. He stands four feet, two inches tall with severe problems in his legs, knees, hips, shoulders, arms that makes it impossible to stand up straight or what without the use of clutches. He spent his childhood in hospitals, undergoing surgeries and going through incredibly painful rehabilitation and isolation. And, yet despite of his "handicaps", he had great success in his professional field- selling computer systems, having a happy marriage and four wonderful healthy children. He enjoyed a great life despite of his physical disability. He doesn't make any excuses or let his disability keep him from enjoying the things other people enjoy or keep him from excelling in whatever he choose to pursue. In fact, he thinks his condition has actually enhanced his life. And he readily admits that God is in control of his life. His story was really an eye-opener for me. And yet, here I am with all my faculties intact and yet I feel so "handicapped" by my so call many excuses and never good enough reasons. Ha! Good enough reason to get going.
