It's Important!

My name is Jasper and at one time in my life I was a pretty active guy.  I always went where ever I pleased and could usually do what ever I pleased.  Then in April '09 a car accident side lined me.  My life as I knew it seemed over but with the help of the staff at the rehab I'm in I began to accept my condition.  I also learned that it's very important to first accept your condition, believe in God and yourself and become active.  I stay active by writing blogs, going on various trips with the rehab, personal visits to family and friends, I take therapy 5 days a week, I attend certain meetings that they have at the rehab, seminars and the like.  It's very important to stay active so you can get used to living in your new life as a quadriplegic or whatever injury you have.  Staying active recharges your mind and your people skills.  It does not give you time to sit around and throw a pity party for yourself.  So my friends, I urge you to put God first, believe in yourself and stay active.  It's important!
