What am I?

What am I?
I have physical issues that keep me from doing things I have always enjoyed... does that make me Disabled? Handicapped? Lazy? Something else??
I am not sure why society must place labels on people. My mind is as sharp as a tack. I have dreams, hopes, wishes and ambitions... I may or may not achieve them, but I will not stop having them.
I want to show and teach others that even though our bodies may no longer cooperate the way it used to, there are still ways we can be productive. I just also wished those productive ways were ways we could take care of ourselves financially. For some, they can. For others, well, life has never been promised to be easy~ only worth it.
So, today, I had an appointment to be proactive in my own life... I attended an appointment with an agency that assists people like me (some with more and severe disabilities, some with less... all with something that challenges their livlihood). I have another in 10 days or so, to determine if I qualify under their guidelines.
My point is... I refuse to sit back and wait for life to happen. I am single, I am closing in on the last years of my life, but I refuse to wait for life... I must reach out and find my place again... I lost my way, I have become comfortable with myself and no longer love being in large crowds... I am who I am, It is what it is... However, with God, all things are possible...
