TITLE: People Like me/Common Issues AUTHOR: Star DATE: 12/21/2004 08:22:28 AM ----- BODY: I have to say that I am thankful for people like me. People with the same issues, people with the same problems, if you will. For example a person I work with, lets call him Brendon, has been a great support group for me. Not only do we have common hobby interests but he has bone/joint issues himself. He has some knee problems but I have noticed some of the same feelings, limitations he has that I had/have. He had surgery on his knee some time ago and I lended him my wheelchair at work and etc. I am thankful that he has been my friend. It is real good for the soul to communicate and have a bond with someone with the same common interests, better yet, common bone/joint issues. Thanks Brendon for being there at work. I am also thankful for his wife (who I dont know very well). From what I know of her she seems to be down to earth and a civil person. I also like the fact that she isnt (or doesnt seem) jelous of other females that are friends with her husband, like me. I see Brendon daily at work and enjoy his company. I am thankful for the both of them, for being supportive of one another and supportive of me. Thanks and Merry Christmas you two. :) Star ----- --------
