People who are different are treated differently but that is not necessarily a bad thing depending on how you look at it – that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s 8: 40 PM on day 444 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, go see a dentist – a few years ago I accidentally fell down the stairs at my aunt’s house and as I result of  that my bottom-middle tooth turned black and I was hoping to get it fixed but all I got was a cleaning because I have an infection which has to clear before I can get a root canal which is necessary to remove the black spot on my tooth so it looks like I’ll be getting a root canal on January 11, 2012 (we can’t do before then because it takes five days for the infection to clear, we’re going to India on December 8 2011 and the dentist only returns from her holiday on January 10, 2012) whoopi something to look forward to in the new year – feed myself Batura and beef fry for breakfast, prepare and publish my Disability of the Day feature, tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign – no luck today but Donna (@polipaca) made a $26.92 donation yesterday –thanks Donna 🙂 – feed myself barbecued mutton, salad and potato salad for lunch and watch TV.

This morning when I went to visit the dentist and a dentist – not the one who treated me (a guy old enough to be my grandfather) – said hi, I said hi then he walked over to me and gave me a kiss on the forehead which I would have been offended by in the past thinking I don’t see him kissing anyone else in the waiting room on the forehead (ok I did think that in the beginning) but today I realized how lucky I was to experience the best of humanity for the most part I’ll be it it’s because they think I’m fragile but still. Do you always take things the wrong way?

Are we connecting on Twitter? If not, say hi at http://twitter.com/Nisha360

If you’ve given to my cause or you can’t give now, please help me by sharing my cause with others. You can tweet about it like my friend Stan Faryna. This is the tweet he uses: @Nisha360 is a brave, smart young woman trying to make a better world for us all. Please help her do an amazing thing. http://bit.ly/hC7vOu

Stan’s very sweet for saying so, but feel free to write what reflects you best.

Thanks to all my friends out there who are helping me make my dream come true: to make a better world for all of us!
