Reeve Foundation Paralysis Community

I don't know what it is about this fourth year post injury. It seems that flashes of remembering are more pervasive than ever. I have been watching the Winter Olympics in Vancouver and remembered watching the last Winter Olympics in 2006 from my hospital bed in the rehab center.

That little flicker of remembering turned into a reflection entry in my blog. In a nutshell, I realized that I still love watching the Olympics, as much now as I did before my accident. That is one blessing this injury has not taken away!!!

See "Lessons On Life: Tetratales" Blog:

I was going to simply say "enjoy the Olympics, enjoy your life."
And then I read your blog entry about how you used to be a skier and did it for relaxation. (I tried it a few times, but was never good at it. One day on the slopes I had a very intimate experience with a tree. I think we may have produced a child together, not sure.)

But what moved me most about your blog entry was about how you can still remember the feeling of skiing and feel the cool air on your face. That reminded me of many Holocaust survivors who said that Hitler could imprison their bodies but never their souls.

Enjoy the Olympics. Enjoy your life.

The Holocaust survivors were right...and I am enjoying the Olympics. Thanks!
