Sometimes love is saying no – that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s 7: 08 PM on day 429 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, feed myself bread and scrambled eggs for breakfast,  prepare and publish my Disability of the Day feature, tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign – no luck – feed myself rice and curry for lunch, listen to music – Exit Wounds by The Script (see lyric video below)  –  watch TV, feed myself Chapati and vegetable curry for dinner and brush my teeth once more.

Yesterday I read Dinnertime on Love That Max where Ellen wrote about among other things how Dave – her husband – usually caved into feeding Max – their son – at dinnertime – Max has Cerebral Palsy and most people who have Cerebral Palsy have a hard time doing the simplest of things – and although I knew that Dave was only doing what he was doing out of love there was so much I wished I could tell him so I’m taking the opportunity to do that now Dave please refuse to help Max do things you know he can do himself he will thank you for it later when he’s living independently and has his own job (I wish my parents had done that with me growing up may be then I wouldn’t need to practicing how to eat with a fork at the age of twenty). Do you things for your children because you want to feel good in the moment?

Are we connecting on Twitter? If not, say hi at http://twitter.com/Nisha360

If you’ve given to my cause or you can’t give now, please help me by sharing my cause with others. You can tweet about it like my friend Stan Faryna. This is the tweet he uses: @Nisha360 is a brave, smart young woman trying to make a better world for us all. Please help her do an amazing thing. http://bit.ly/hC7vOu

Stan’s very sweet for saying so, but feel free to write what reflects you best.

Thanks to all my friends out there who are helping me make my dream come true: to make a better world for all of us!
