Inspiring. A healthy attitude, I believe, is nearly everything.
People should copy your formula. we should celebrate every accomplishment (in varying degrees, of course).
Your post demonstrates faith and hope very well.
Best wishes.

It is exciting to hear of your special feelings when you are walking. You persevered, and are able to do so much more than you could a year ago. Keep walking, keep challenging yourself and persevering and you will achieve your heart's desire.

A well written piece beginning with the title. It is nice to see the changes your describe, Jesse.
It will go a long way to more healing and feeling even better, and as you said, being able to walk without a wheelchair or walker. You should feel proud of your achievements; you have come a long way and have proven that you can and will improve.

You are also right about working on your mind, body, and spirit. Many things and attitudes will change because of that, and even your writing will be better as you indicated. I am very happy for you. Have a great day, a very Merry Christmas, and a wonderful New Year!!

When something important to us is taken away, we will long to have it back. If we are fortunate to regain enough of it, we will rejoice and count ourselves lucky to have even a portion of it back. We will for certain appreciate it much more than we did in the past. Never again taking it for granted.

    This is so true, my friend. I will never take for granted the ability to walk without the aid of a walker. Thanks for your support and encouragement.

It's so hard for all of us to stay positive in the face of difficulties. And for those who have to battle physical and or mental challenges beyond the regular, everyday setbacks, it takes something special. I pray your attitude and willingness to keep fighting will I'll reward you soon will the mobility you deserve! I wish I had I six.

I love the idea of getting a "glow" from something you're proud you've achieved. I don't know that everyone gets that "head rush when they first wake up and get out of bed," but I do think they get it whenever they, like you, work hard at something difficult and finally achieve it. You deserve that glow "Every time [you] walk down the hallway," and each and every step that you take, because each of them came with effort and deliberation. Wear that glow proudly. You deserve it.

    Hello Michele.
    I am glad you approve of the glow I have earned by determination and hard work. I will wear the glow proudly. After all these years I deserve the glow of showing off my new life worth living. Walking and writing like never before.
    Have a happy holiday, my friend!

    You absolutely deserve it. You've suffered enough and worked hard enough to earn and enjoy it.

    Thank you, and happy holiday to you as well. Have a very merry Christmas.

Another fine write, Jesse, and about a subject we share, and I can understand your excitement about. It seems like such a small thing, but to us, who can't move normally, it's gigantic

    Yes, Mike. We don't take walking for granted like others do who can easily be mobile. Our commonality is something I am aware of and know that to us it is something to be excited about. I hope for you that your hard work pays off just like mine has and you someday have the ability to walk again.
    Take care, my friend.
