Most of the videos I take will be of animals near home and of the natural world around me when I'm able to travel. I've been disabled unexpectedly for three years now with several chronic illnesses. Gradually, I've learned to be a realistic yet upbeat person who accepts himself. The most important lessons I've learned during this time have been to communicate clearly, to listen well, and to ask for what I need.
Name: Frank
My world has become relatively small recently and confining, but reaching out to others through our marvelous web-based communication systems has helped to save my mental and physical health. Youtube has become an important outlet for me. In 2005, I found myself unexpectedly becoming very seriously ill and then becoming disabled and isolated. I have an active interest in cultures the world around as well as science, current events, and history. I am very optimistic yet realistic. When I speak to and learn from people who are ill like me, I'm able to face my problems and deal with them with greater understanding and sense of perspective. Carepages.com like youtube has enabled me to find friends who support me, help me grow emotionally and spiritually, and help me through depression. My page within carepages is:FrankLivingFully This site has given me the chance to write and share many short essays with my thoughts about living fully while having life-changing chronic illnesses. Registration is free. Carepages is a service designed to keep family and friends in contact when their loved ones are seriously ill. Between 400 and 500 major hospitals and clinics provide it to their patients. It's a place for positive emotional support and personal engagement which is constructive.

Charley cat surely loves his brushing! I wish I could get near Kassie (14 year old bichon/poodle cross) with a brush... she hates it so much. She has a hard time at the groomers as her front legs are so sensitive and she fights the groomer - that wouldn't make such a great video that's for sure. Charley is quite a character and very photogenic too.

hI,

Thanks for your comments I appreciate them,
Sadly I will be missing for a few days owing to the fact that I will be going to hospital tomorrow for a minor operation. When doctors tell me "minor" what comes to mind is -"a small step for them a giant sep for me" of couse I butchered the well know phrase.
Take care, see you soon.
