Pay it Forward Baby!

Yes. I'm referring to the movie. Real life works that way.

As I watched the movie, I put myself in Spacey's character AND the little boy. This month has been like that for me in my writings as well.

I've been in a "crisis" mode lately and focused on my "stuff" in my spare time - which is oscillating at this point in my life. So.....this week, so far, everything I've done and everyone I've encountered in my life is either reaching a climax or moving into a whole new arena. Like, it's coming back to me in spades through other people.

And my writing/publishing efforts? Some are taking notice. My latest spin has been to take some of my material and kind of hand someone a copy of whatever if they seem interested as I focus on the main issue of whatever it is I'm attempting to do.

Now, they're calling me back. Asking for more.

My latest somewhat intentional efforts have focused on returning to the job scene as a means of survival.

See, my main "thing" in life has been construction on bridges, roads, and airport "parking and maintenance" areas for planes. Hard labor and the job details take it's toll on the body and it's common for guys to have fatal injuries and sometimes there is an unintended death for whatever reasons. Safety is always the biggest issue. Some have been crippled for life.

My last gig almost killed me - literally. No one, including myself and some docs, thought I would recover this quickly and to this extent. So, I just passed a # of demanding tests, again, to see if I could return. It's a requirement of many jobs if one's been away for so many months. Especially in my case.

I just got the call - I start tomorrow early before daylight. I've been asked to be introduced to the guys I've worked with in the past and many new ones. I'll be taking more of my writings with me, just in case.

Let's pay it forward baby!

Ok.The moment is here. I'm dressed and ready. Lunch packed, full tank of gas, my notebooks and pen for whenever I break. I never though this moment would be here. I planned, prepared, took all those tests again, healed from the accident.......I just never believed I'd actually get this far.

WISH ME LUCK!

Thanks. I was hospitalized months ago. Couldn't talk or get out of bed.

I laugh when I see people complaining about the most simplest of tasks and I recall some as not being so simple and having to struggle to learn or retrain myself how to do things. I now truly understand handicap in the physical as well as mental.

I was hospitalized due to a construction accident. There were multiple complications that no one expected. In addition, my body went into a shock that resulted in a massive, not minor, stroke. No one expected me to survive. Nor did they expect me to recover so quickly to this extent.

I still have "vertigo" and dizzy spells out of the blue I simply can't control and I've now stopped taking the meds for that. I've always been anti-meds. And people today think the "vertigo" is or was the problem. Most don't realize I had to work hard to get this far like a normal person. Simply swinging a hammer or operating machinery is nothing short of a miracle in my case.

So, simply writing and tapping a keyboard is truly a rewarding experience for me and others like me who've had to do this sort of thing.


This whole thing with me changed me. Everything about me has changed except for my willingness to accept new challenges.

This isn't the GB rae. Your post is irrelevant here. Take up personal squabbles with the moderator if you have an issue with me.

Most people here don't like Cock or Cum stain beard pics. Don't like I didn't respond to a PM or delayed it? Anything else, I don't remember. Tough. That's life. Deal w/it.

Thanks for your input.
