There’s nothing compared to the feeling you get when you do something you’ve never done before – that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s  3 : 14 PM on day 831 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to stretch my hamstrings, take off my t-shirt and put a new one on, brush my teeth, publish my Disability of the Day feature, practice typing with both hands, feed myself yogurt with apples for brunch and  practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles.

This morning while waiting for our housekeeper to fetch me clean clothes I decided to try and take off my t-shirt – I usually just let people do it for me because it was quicker that way – first I got my head out of the t-shirt, then I pushed my left-hand out through the sleeve finally I used my left-hand to get my right hand out of its sleeve and before I knew it I was sitting on the toilet without a t-shirt shortly after that I put on a different t-shirt with our housekeeper’s help – I had trouble finding the sleeves she showed me where they were and I did the rest –   I was so happy I kept saying I did it, it was like my own Christmas miracle.   Do you feel a sense of mastery when you do something you’ve never done before?

I LOVE hearing from you feel free to leave a comment below.
