“There is no friend as loyal as a book.” ― Ernest Hemingway

It’s 12  : 28 PM on day 1229 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to  pray,  brush my teeth,  read 2 Chronicles 32,  publish my Disability of the Day feature, feed myself egg with bread for breakfast,   promote my Eradicate AIDS campaign – no donations so far today either but a lot of people have promised to donate in Feb. I finally figured out why some people don’t want to be associated with AIDS it’s got nothing to do with the disease and everything to do with the way the disease is transmitted think about it nobody has a problem with somebody who has diabetes but some people do have a problem with people who have HIV/AIDS why because people who have HIV/AIDS are seen by society as either promiscuous or drug addicted   – practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles and stretch my hamstrings. 

Yesterday afternoon I finally finished reading To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee the book is about a lawyer named Atticus Finch who is called upon to defend an African American man who is accused of raping a young white woman but it’s about so much more than that it’s about doing the right thing even when you know things won’t go your way, it’s about injustice, it’s about how we slowly lose our innocence as we grow… this book reflects life as it is not life as we wish it was and aside from the fact that it was a tad bit slow I really enjoyed it.
