If you’re going to play the what-if game play it till the end – that’s my message to the world.
It’s 1 : 40 PM on day 1865 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray, read Acts 10, publish my Disability of the Day feature, learn one new thing –Incendiary [in·cen·di·ar·y] adj. Designed to cause fires. “An incendiary device.”- have breakfast, continue working on my new local project – i spent hours on the phone trying to order Christmas gifts the people talking to me couldn’t understand most of what i was trying to say (many thanks to my frenemy Cerebral Palsy) but they were so patient with me I’ve set up a meeting at the store tomorrow hopefully they will understand me better in person – make sandwiches for the kids in our sisi’s (housekeeper’s) neighborhood with sisi’s help as part of Virginia’s Sandwich Run (thank you sisi for all your help today).
.
Today I conquered my fear of initiating a phone conversation with strangers (because I have Cerebral Palsy my speech is more often than not unclear especially when I’m nervous like when I have phone conversations with strangers) it’s true that one of my my worst fears came to life when I realized that the people on the other end of the line didn’t understand most of what I was saying but hey I tried my best and I’m still alive despite one of my worst fears coming to life.
God bless you and keep on keeping on (in the Lord).
Thank you and same yo you. You rock Stan I aspire to the amount of faith you have.
Well done to you. What I can relate is going to my neighbour who was over 6 feet tall and an alcoholic. Needing to confront him as he was harassing my daughters. My heart was beating 50million to the dozen and I gathered enough courage to knock on his door. My relief when his wife said he was not in!! But … I guess I did it.
Yes you did do it 🙂 Well done to you 🙂
