Hello to anybody reading this. Since my motorcycle accident in 2006, I've felt like I've been "lost" in life. Lost in the sense of "what the heck am I going to do now". I used to gravel for the job I had fixing, training, and installing euipment. Well since I've lost the usage of my hands, and am not as able to do the work I once LOVED, it made me have that "LOST" feeling. That is until I started to get sick of people complaining about their lives and how much they "sucked". I would just sit there and listen, not saying a word, but thinking... Man if I were still able to do whatever it was they were complaining about, man I'd be one happy person!

It wasn't until I got sick of hearing about people's "shitty" lives, as most of them called it, that I was thinking "man if they only knew how "shitty" their lives really aren't". This inspired me to start a website to share stories about people who have actually had REAL "Crappy" situations, gotten through them, and are making the best of their lives now. I named it Tomorrow's Not a Promise, because that is what people all over the world need to realize!! No matter what is bad or hard in your life, people have gotten through harder in their's, and they aren't sitting around complaining about it. In the blink of an eye things we love can be taken from us.

I ask that you check out my site at www.tomorrowsnotapromise.com, see what you think, give me some feedback. If you have a Facebook "like" us and help me to spread this message I feel so strongly about. If you have, or know of any fitting stories we should feature, send a email to info@tomorrowsnotapromise.com . We are trying to get some new designs and colors of our gear right now, so if you have anything you'd like to see, also email your ideas!

You've got a "nice mix" of examples....not JUST the SCI & health issues but even included a family dealing with the aftermath of a suicide. :cheers:

Thanks, I really didn't want to focus on SCI because there are SOOO many other situations in life!
