Can’t walk…still can shoot!!
In keeping with the philosophy that there are no excuses why you cannot do something regardless of your limitations, I took to the woods for some paintball. A good friend of mine invited my wife and I to come out and join the other 60 people involved in their annual paintballing extravaganza. Despite the limitations of my legs we devised a plan to use a four wheeler to drop me in the woods and participate as a sniper for my team. Being in the woods and being involved with this fun way to spend an afternoon took me back a bit. In the woods, crawling around on the ground, getting dirty and shooting paintballs at the opposing team made me feel like I didn’t have any limitations and took me back to when I still could walk and would play in the woods with my friends or when I was a Marine doing drills.
Despite any limitations you have there is usually something you can do to ensure you can participate as long as you accept it might not be the same but it is as good as you want to make it. I had an incredible time, along with my wife and great friends, and am pumped about doing it again!!
