Even though life as a quad feels like, and can be incredibly difficult at times, you should always remember others have difficult lives as well. Giving back can be so easy and offer such incredible rewards. I remember volunteering at a food bank, where I wasn't sure I could do much as crowds were organizing and packing food. They found me a spot to sit and mark the date on canned goods with a marker. Simple, but helpful. Whatever your level of disability, there is somewhere, some way that you can contribute.
Being there gives you the chance to meet other great people, focus on something other than your problems, make some good connections, feel like you are making a difference, but most of all it just feels damn good.
