Why are you working?

On Friday, I saw a guy that I used to work with 10 years ago who went on disability for his back. Well it seems that his disability was revoked and he has to sub 120 days in order to get his retirement. He asked me why I was working and that he didn't think I would have a problem getting a disability( I also have enough years to retire). I told him that I was working because I wanted to. The more that I thought about it, I am really working because I can. When I think back to amost 10 months ago, I couldn't take a shower by myself, had to get dressed with one hand, my left arm and hand wouldn't move, and couldn't walk more than a few steps without help, I decided that the real answer was that I was working because I could. I realized how far I have come, but I still have a long way to go. In my heart I know that I have made the right decision.

Have to agree. Other reasons also. Again want my own home; I can't believe that places charge rent for dogs as well as an unrefundable fee in case the dog damages the property. And another reason, I'm not near a frig when at work; it better controls my weight, and I really enjoy it when I get jobs I really love.

 

Also, it really is better for you mentally. People tend to sit home and do nothing but "be sick". There are tooo many who can work and don't.

 

Obviously, there are some who can't.

I work 2 days a week at my previous employer and I m not getting paid anything, and I don't mind, I still like to do those 2 days a week, it gives me feeling of worthwhile.

 

you do what you feel right for you.
