Growing up means taking responsibility for your past, present and future – that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s 1  : 38  PM on day 1019 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to  brush my teeth, feed myself a boiled egg and All Bran Flakes for breakfast, pray, try to clean myself in the bathroom – I tried my best but ended up having to ask for help I can’t explain to people who haven’t experienced it what it’s like to need someone to help you wipe yourself it’s SO humiliating I die a little each time –             read Joshua 2,  publish my Disability of the Day feature,   take off my dirty turtleneck and t-shirt and put on a clean t-shirt, make sandwiches as part of Virginia’s Sandwich Run with our housekeeper’s help – today I made sandwiches thinking of Nelson Mandela his whole life has been dedicated to serving others I think he would be happy that the next generation is keeping his legacy of service alive 🙂 –    and practice typing with both hands.

Today I realized blaming other people for the things they didn’t teach me and the things I didn’t learn wasn’t going to do me any good because at the end of the day I and only I am responsible for where I end up in life.  Have you taken responsibility for your past, present and future?
