When I was 24, 10 days before 25, I was run over basically I was going along the top of the "T" when someone came from the other side and went down the tail. The result, I was hospitalized for 9 months eventually the right leg was amputated below knee. 6 months rehab, then 6 months "sick leave" where I took off and hitch-hikes around Europe for 9 weeks, (1972).
I have done pretty much what I've wanted to within reason. Unlike a lot of others who have difficulty spelling I find that I can't reed well, what I see isn't always what is written down, more than 6 letters throw in a "ph" or an unusual word in places I don't expect [you get the message]. However I have always believed in myself, the thing is getting others also too. I met a lady friend who said that it was my mind that interested her [and I thought it was my looks] this got me to realize that there are ways of getting by so thanks to spell check and Google's Dictionary.com.
In my spare time I was playing games on the computer, eventually I decided to rather do something that would exercise my brain so one thing or another and the thought of the possibility of making a few $$$$; I looked, spoke, joined, left and although I knew about The 30 Day Challenge [had done that years ago got nowhere], left the re-visit till last. In desperation re-visited "The 30Day challenge" only to find it is now just "The Challenge" [I'll tell you what is wrong with it there is no charge or very little], and started doing the modules. That's life, the best thing is found last.
In Module Four-Day One Ed talks about The Julie/Julia Project, I listened and thought yes!, yes!, we all want that - but I liked what he says so I'm going to work at it. Well can you imagine my surprise when I saw that I have someone new following me on twitter and a guru at that? It is true that a house has to start with the first brick. Now that was a morale booster if there was one, if someone else can be interested in you then you owe it to them to keep their interest - amazing!
