“The spirit of Christmas is the spirit of love and of generosity and of goodness. It illuminates the picture window of the soul, and we look out upon the world’s busy life and become more interested in people than in things.” – Thomas S. Monson

It’s 10 : 49 AM on day 1564 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to pray, brush my teeth,  read Isaiah 49 and John 2,   publish my Disability of the Day feature and promote my Educate Generations campaign– still on $1 255 I may ask my parents for a donation as a Christmas present but I think I would feel bad if I did because my sister and brother didn’t ask for anything this Christmas.

Today is Christmas Day – my favorite holiday – on this day may we all value the presence of our loved ones more than we value the presents under the tree. Merry Christmas everyone.
