[Sportsandrec] Spinning

Joe,

I think I used to have such feelings, but I am 
completely unburdened these days, free of any kind of miseries, or self doubt.
I think this relative lightness of spirit, 
may  be from doing assid when I was 18, just 
before acquiring    brain damage when I was 
struck by a light truck driven by this little old 
man with cancer in Littleton Colorado. I was comatose for 4 months.
They tell me it could have been curtains for me, 
had the brain failed to cease swelling in time.
The traumatic brain injury (TBI) was definitely a 
significant set back, but it has taught me to 
live in the moment always, and be grateful for what I was allowed to retain.
