Day 929

You can change the world just by being yourself– that’s what I keep learning 🙂

It’s 5  : 14 PM on day 929 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to  take off my dirty t-shirt, brush my teeth, try to clean myself in the bathroom,  put a clean t-shirt on, feed myself Chapati and baked beans for breakfast,   pray, read Leviticus 9, go visit people, feed myself baked bean roll for lunch and  publish my Disability of the Day feature.

A couple of weeks ago we hired a new housekeeper for the weekend and today she came in while I was changing, said it was cold and that I was taking too long and proceeded to help me get dressed I had to explain to her that even though it would take me a while to do things I would eventually do them I said I’m not like other people what takes you two minutes to do takes me two hours to do to which she said as if she suddenly realized how fortunate she was like putting on a t-shirt  it’s cool that just being around me makes people more grateful.  Has someone changed your world just by being themselves?
