Disabled people enjoying life

I hve a physical disability. I am not in a wheelchair all of the time. Sometimes I use a walker. I enjoy reading, watching TV, MyLot and getting together with friends. I am getting to a point though, that I just want to stay home and do things because going out is so much work. My friends say they are awed by what I try to do. I don't think I do anything special. I live alone, so if I want something done, I usually have to do it. My friends help me out when they can. I would feel more deserving of their views if I partcipated in disabled olympics or something like that.

Hi Maximax I am registered disabled because of my Illness, I can walk talk hear but my Lungs play up bad and I am very restricted to how far I can walk, how many times I have to stop and then walk again, it was hard to adjust from an energetic and active Person to this, to be told that I can never work again and do other things I used to do with no problems, but I learned to live it and carry on enjoying Life, I have found things that I do now, I never knew I could do it

I know a girl who is afflicted with down syndrome, oh, she loves to listen to stories, like fairytales, children's stories and would always want to be read. Her parents decided to enroll her as a sit- in student in our school just to let her listen during storytelling time. Before the month ended, she voluntarily asked to be permanently enrolled and soon before the school year ended, she can already read short paragraphs and soon read short story. She loves reading and now she's into more complicated books like short novels for children. We love her for being a lover of books!

I am a atheist.On the contrary,If the God exists,I think he is unfair.Why did he make so many disabled people?What crime they committed?However many disabled people display immense courage to live and wisdom .One of my neighbour is blind in two eyes,he is a little over fifty.He can play the erhu ,a chinese musical instrument with two strings and a bow,accordion,flute .He live a happy life.

Hi Maxi, I am a disabled guy using a wheelchair for my mobility doing mba final year. The school in which i studied was a special school for disabled students. I like to watch tv, work in computer for many hours by doing this online jobs, playing games and also chat with my friends in social networking sites. I love to listen music also and i also like to travel a lot. Many of my disabled friends like playing games, paintings.

Life is a gift and turns out no if we ruin ourselves. Those disabled should really enjoy their life instead of pitying themselves.The blinds are lucky for they could not observe and see the act of bad people.The deaf are also lucky because they can not hear the evil words and bad news. There are those who has lost their mind but still they are lucky because they could no longer interact with this sinful world.All of us are lucky and we forgot to thank who gave our lives which we owe to GOD.

Personally I know a lot of people with a form of a disability and unable to do things maybe that others can, but in a lot of ways this does not make them any less interesting. I know one who is in a wheelchair who is wanting to be an author and actually is an excellent drawer, and sells some of their work on the side. I know another one with limited site who plays Basketball and swims for the Special Olympics and usually walks just with a guide dog. It is amazing what a disabled person can do and for the most part they are often more motivated than any other person you will find.

I found this an odd discussion. I didn't know if you were trying to point out that handicapped people could still have interests despite their handicap, or whether you were pointing out that handicapped people were just like everyone else. Handicapped or not, we all are unique and have different interests. I just found this a little odd.

People can also be disabled by illness and pain. I fall into that category but I still enjoy my life as much as I can. There are times when it gets hard but I make the most of what I can.

One of the long term members at my archery club is disabled. He suffered a stroke at the young age of 37 which put an end to his successful music career. He was a popular performer until that happened. He did archery before his stroke, but then only took it up again many years later. Last year he not only celebrated his 20th year at our club, but his 70th birthday as well! His age and the disability are catching up with him now though as he struggles to get around the course and often does not finish a round. He is great to have around the club though as he is always smiling, even though he cannot talk properly. He is always Santa at out Christmas parties too.

I have seen a lot of disabled persons being shown on TV doing things that you wouldn't think that they are capable of doing. Take for example, an amputee who could eat with the aid of his feet handling the spoon and fork. They are amazing! They have surpassed their difficulty in their body and they have mastered it. So for people who are not disabled, let's all be just persevering and patient with our work. It will pay off in the end.

i am disabled and have been wheelchair-bound for the past 20 years. most of us adjust to our situations not because we are particularly brave people, at least i'm not. rather, we are in a situation that doesn't offer a lot of options, so making the best of it makes sense. you might be interested in a piece i wrote at www.hubpages.com/profile/sam3m titled The Upside of Being Disabled. keep in mind that we, at least in the usa, get really good parking spaces.

I think the different behavior between the healthy people and disabled people comes from society, as for the healthy people, they always feel the pressure from the society, that is, go to get a nice job, earn money as much as you can, to be success and so on; But for the disabled people, society always give more sympathy and kindness instead of pressure, plus, people always feel more about life itself when they lose something that will never come back again, they will realize that life is the most important thing that need to be cherished. It is said "when one door closes another door opens"

Hi maxi, I had a cousin who was blind. By smelling cloth she could realize whose cloth it was. The disabled persons have sharp instinct. My blind cousin liked to talk with family members and relatives. In general disabled people need company. We should give some time to them. At least we can make feel them they are not alone.

I know a man who uses a wheelchair. He is very active, he plays wheelchair soccer and he also likes other kinds of wheelchair sports. He has many friends and he often goes out with his friends. I also know a man who has down syndrome. His favourite hobby is painting and he has a huge collection of paintings. Some years ago I worked in a home for people who were deaf and blind. Because of their disability they weren't able to enjoy activities like music or reading, but we tried to give them other things to enjoy like pleasant smells, a long hot bath, a massage or a small trip outside.

My second cousin is disabled. She is an artist and a writer.

Everytime I hear, read or watch these kind of stories I realize how ungrateful I am for not being happy every little second for being perfect. Disabled people seems to be really strong, I really admire them.

I have an autistic daughter, she loves to watch disney princess movies, she know them all and sings them well. She is what they consider non verbal however when she watches her movies she can speak and say what ever they are saying and sing the songs in her beautiful voice. I am so happy when I see her do this.

I am not really sure of what things they enjoy doing but I always see them anywhere. There is just something with their presence. Somehow it gives inspiration to me. At times I complain about so many things yet seeing them, even given their disabilities just shows contentment. They do not have something that most people have yet they go on. They do not demand so much. They just simply live. I just hope that I have this courage. I hope that everyone of us has.
