Every time I walk down the hallway, I experience a radiating feeling all over my body. From the top of my head to the tips of my toes, a rush of adrenaline and endorphins pulsates through my bloodstream, creating a magnificent ecstatic glow.   Each time, I wonder if other people feel the same head rush when they first wake up and get out of bed. If they do, I imagine they shrug it off and go on with their day.   Whereas, it is a glorious occasion to me deserving of many cheers and joyful laughter. I feel proud of my achievements so far and look forward to more of the same.   I know why I achieved that glow. Every day, I work hard at my exercises, eat healthy foods, and drink plenty of fluids. Also, I spend time alone, mindfully aware of my peaceful surroundings.   Working on mind, body, and spirit helps me to create my poetry and prose pieces.   I just realized that my muse inspires me, as I feel the glow inside ever widening until it spirals out of control.   It’s a great feeling I wouldn’t change for anything in this world.   All these attributes combine to create a glow every time I write or walk.   I look forward to the future when I will be able to walk hands-free away from my wheelchair and walker. My writing will continue to improve as well.   Oh, what a fantastic future I have to look forward to, I can hardly wait.
