Day 1289: On my 23rd birthday a word of thanks

“Aging is not lost youth but a new stage of opportunity and strength.” – Betty Friedan

 

It’s 12  : 00  PM on day 1289 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to  pray,   brush my teeth, publish my Disability of the Day feature,  promote my Eradicate AIDS campaign –  Juliet Merrell donated $15 and my mom donated $30 to my campaign in honour of my birthday(thank you guys)  which brings my total raised to $519.47 only $480.53 more to raise in 111 days –  feed myself boiled egg and bran flakes for breakfast, read Job 23,    continue promoting my campaign –  Drea Crysel of @NewScience101 made a donation (thanks again Drea)  which brings my total raised to $529.47 I am so happy that my birthday and my being alive in general is going to be good for other people I don’t want to be just another person emitting carbon dioxide I want to change the world in a positive way –  and practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles.

 

Today being my 23rd birthday I would like to thank my family, friends (both online and offline) and medical team for helping me get this far in life I literally wouldn’t be here without them they are the wind beneath my wings.
