I sit around and belly ache about my bruises and sore muscles. Then I come across another amputee story with the amputee not allowing anything to slow him down, and he climbs a mountain. It makes me feel guilty about my petty soreness,mandatory blaming it to be that's what is holding me back from going on a three mile walk or a five mile bike ride. I should print this story and pictures to refer me back to how lazy I am, with a ton of excuses, to not do it.
