The only way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time – that’s what I learned today 🙂
It’s 8: 40 PM on day 575 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to prepare and publish my Disability of the Day feature, hang out with my grandma – it’s heartbreaking when you try your hardest and still can’t understand what someone you love is trying to tell you especially when you remember all the things they used to do with you 🙁 – feed myself a peanut butter sandwich for breakfast, drink tea by myself, work, watch TV, feed myself rice and curry for lunch and tweet about my I Am Disabled campaign.
As you may remember a couple of days I started my I Am Disabled campaign with the intention of showing the world that we are all “disabled” in different ways and i’m happy to say the campaign is gaining momentum. Take a look below at the answers to what do you wish you could do but can’t:

@Nisha360 I wish I could speak clearly enough that my husband and others would always understand me. #IAmDisabled http://nishav360.com/2012/04/day-568-i-am-disabled/
@Nisha360 #IAmDisabled in that I don’t always control my emotions when I should.
gosh Nisha, some wonderful replies. I especially love the reply from Stan Faryna @Faryna – @Nisha360 I wish I could heal the broken with a word from my heart. I wish I could give the beautiful, the good, and the true with a smile.
That is so amazing. I would say that with a comment like that he is not at all disabled. Just unable 🙁
Beautiful idea, I hope it grows and grows.
lots of hugs
Cindy
I love the replies too 🙂 Stan (@faryna) is not “disabled” in the traditional sense but as I say we are all “disabled” and I too hope this idea grows 🙂
Yours truly,
Nisha
