Ways I have tried to improve my life

My husband died two years ago. I went thru some tough times> I still miss him very much. We were best friends. I miss talking and laughing with him. We went everywhere together. This has been the hard part going everywhere by myself. It is not fun to hang out in the mall by myself so now I had to try and find places to go that do not cost a lot of money but have something for me to do.
1)      I set a routine for myself of activities. Example I go to the Y to the whirlpool a couple times a week.  I bought yearlong passes to a couple of places. This way, when I am low on money, I have somewhere to go.
2)      I got involved in some new projects. I have made new friends from these new projects.
3)      I changed my hair. I found a new church. Etc…I just felt it was time for some  change
4)      I am setting some new work goals… again it is about change and making new friends.
5)       I started a circle of support and did a path.
I would love to hear what you have done to improve your life. Just post in the comments

People Say The Dumbest Things to People Using Wheelchairs

I use a power chair. Some guy walked up to me at Targets and says "I saw you 20 minutes ago on Cheshire sidewalk. Man that thing gets you around. He said it like he was shocked. Duh........
this one is funny...
a little boy about 3 or 4 walks upto me and says "where did you get your stroller? no one needs to push you. Did you buy it here? I want one! he said with complete amazement on his face. he wanted a stroller that does not need any one to push him in is what he told his very red faced Mom. Share your funny story in the comments
