What is life?

I have been doing a lot of thinking recently, some would say internalising.  What if the life I have had is now over and I have to think about starting again from scratch.  That's a big thing to think about isn't it?  I have been told to "get off my legs" as much as possible to not cause further damage to my bones. 

I could end up in a wheelchair for the rest of my life if it isn't sorted out soon.  Being in a wheelchair doesn't worry me, but the rest of life does.  Would this effect my finances? I'm a man who loves to see the world? I'm also currently finding myself single at the age of 36.  I took myself off the dating scene when I found out about my leg issue a few weeks ago, I don't think I'm a very good catch right now.  My brain is thinking about getting better rather my love life.  I've been single and dating for the last few years; but I do have concerns that my dating pool of people is dramatically lowered, because for some people I now have too much baggage.  Love life officially on hold..

So my question "What is life?" for me life is what I make of the here and now, because at the moment, I cannot control the outcomes of what is happening to me in the future.  I'm spending time, "getting off my legs" at work, in my flat and at my parents home.  I'm trying to live life to the fullest as I possibly can.  By writing this blog I hope it might help others going through traumatic times, knowing you are not alone, we are all connected.  Life is still good, it's just being a bit tricky.

I have been touched by the amount of good, kind and thoughtful people wanting to help me via my Facebook and Twitter accounts.  Friends around the world, have all been sending messages of support.  One friend Linda from Australia who I met through the sport of Dragon Boating has been talking to me in the dead of night, it's daytime down under.  Night time is the worst for people who worry like myself, so a special thanks to Linda for allowing me to unload my worries.  I hope to one day come out to Australia and thank you in person.
