“Count your blessings.
There are many beautiful things in life to appreciate.
The gift of life is a priceless.”
― Lailah Gifty Akita
It’s 12 : 03 PM on day 1654 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray, read Ezekiel 14, publish my Disability of the Day feature, learn one new thing – Despite their menacing appearance and fierce name, dragonflies cannot sting and are harmless to human beings –promote my Educate Generations campaign– yesterday Stan Faryna donated $24 and this morning Caryn Gootkin did the same (thanks Caryn and Stan for making this one of my best birthdays ever 🙂 ) which brings my total raised to $2 558 -feed myself egg with bread for breakfast, chat to family and hang out with our neighbor – our neighbor, Marion, is the sweetest person you’ll ever meet she remembers all our birthdays and brings us gifts this time she brought cupcakes what means more to me than the cupcakes is the fact that she thought of me I aspire to be like Marion she has this way of making everybody in her presence feel like they matter 🙂 .
Today is my 24th birthday I am so grateful for all the years that I have been alive to live, love and serve. Thanks to God, my family, friends, medical team and even strangers for standing on the balcony of my life and rooting for me I am deeply humbled by the support and love that I receive on a daily basis.
