Learn to adapt– that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s 2 : 20 PM on day 865 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to  stretch my hamstrings, take off my dirty t-shirt and put a clean t-shirt on, brush my teeth, pray, practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles,  read Genesis 39,  publish my Disability of the Day feature, practice typing with both hands and watch TV.

Today for the first time ever I tried to put on a bra by myself I got the straps over my shoulders then realized I couldn’t hook it at the back laying on my back so I asked our housekeeper for help it may take me a while but eventually I will figure out how to do it because that’s what I do I adapt to survive in a world that isn’t designed for people who are different.  If you can’t do something the way everybody else does do you give up or learn to adapt?

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