Your thread title caught my eye because yesterday I borrowed from the library a biography/autobiograpy (both) of Helen Keller. It is a 'revised Classic' that I believe I read in my youth and was meaningful to me. I hope my experience is positive like yours!


Excellent principle, Junerain, I've just discovered it myself, the same time as you. And Hellen Keller's autobiography is a really wonderful book, Echoes. Can you imagine someone with more to deal with.

God has been whispering to me my whole life. Sometimes I didn't listen. I simply shooed it away like a buzzing fly. But now i'm listening. Suddenly it became clear to me that my time was wasted focusing on what I DIDN'T HAVE as a result of my illness. I needed to be focusing on what I DID HAVE. Everything has changed as a result.

I am so happy for you both.
