Just too funny

Just adding to the number of people sharing a version of this television clip from Japan.

Change the World - J-Pop song

It's really more of a love song, and the opening theme to the anime, Inuyasha, which is really aimed at the teen-aged girl audience, but it's got a lot of fighting and action to capture boys' attention as well.

Anyway, the song, sung by boy band (whose oldest members are now 40 years old), V-6, when they were in their teens and twenties inspires me - and I hope the book I am currently writing about my recovery from spinal cord injury, as well as the financial planning book, $10 a Day Towards $1,000,000 will inspire people to act positively one reader at a time.  As long as I'm engaging in shameless self-promotion, check out my vampire novella, Sword of the Undead

Change the World, with Japanese and English lyrics, by the band, V-6.

Lucky and Blessed

I've felt blessed since my eyes opened, and in my recovery blog. http://www.toeupto10k.blogspot.com/, each week, I write about an inspirational person. They are not hard to find. There are lots of inspirational people around in many different ways - its just that I focus on those who have recovered from spinal cord and brain injuries.

Sometimes I can't help but think about those who did not survive, and feel sad, and lucky at the same time. And the same goes for those who had to have limbs amputated for survival - and with those people, who have recovered, I get extra inspiration. 

In a Christmas Carol, Ebenezer the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future, provided the trigger for Scrooge to change his life.  I'm not physically 100% yet, but meningitis and the resulting transverse mylenitis have caused me to make adjustments physically and socially, but it also provided me the trigger to start a new chapter - doing what I've always wanted to do for a living - that is to write  - and hopefully, alos provide inspiration to people who also are recovering from spinal cord injury.
