It's been many years since I had to move away from my beloved Monterey because I am "paralyzed" and each of you are right. I miss all of those things....but the greatest thing of all that I miss is freedom. I am not free to be anywhere, go anywhere at whim. I am now far away and miss my beautiful oceans and wonder what it would be like today if I were not a quadriplegic, but there are no regrets, this topic is a great reminder to appreciate every moment and action.....you never know exactly what you will miss until its gone.
