Journalling online since 18 January, 1997.
I need an on-screen keyboard and vision assistance software to enable me to use the computer, due to severe disability. One of the consequences is that typing can be painful and very slow.
I can usually only type a few paragraphs per day, so I can only leave a few comments at best. Please don't be offended if you don't get a reply to something.

Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show.
Charles Dickens

We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
