How inspiring, I love non-fiction reading because it's real. You shared your experience in an easy to read format that demonstrates what it's like to have cadence to your story telling. You should be so proud of your achievements, thank you for sharing your story.

Hi there,

True belief in the mind over matter. It's a good quote, and I think you've written about this before. It is an inspirational tale in itself.

and not being able to walk any
more. - something odd happened with the formatting in this section.

I left behind the wheel chair- wheelchair.

I have read some of your biographical stuff before, and yes, the mind is necessary to goad the body to its limits. This meets the prompt exactly, and the quote is an apt one.

What an inspiration YOU are! If you don't mind, I am going to write that quote down. So much truth in just a few words. I don't know why I've never heard that one before.
You are a very talented writer. I really got wrapped up into your story. This is a GREAT contest entry!
Thank you so much for sharing!
Gale
