Day 136

When you’re finished changing, you’re finished. – Benjamin Franklin

It’s 10: 19 PM on day 136 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, feed myself grapes  for breakfast, email someone for a donation – it didn’t quite work out 🙁 – feed myself  rice and curry  for lunch, watch TV, exercise for 10 minutes and  feed myself Malva Pudding – a sweet pudding of Dutch origin –  for dinner and   tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign for a few hours – no donations were made today but God knows it wasn’t for the lack of trying 🙂

A few days ago my brother pointed out to me that my 20th birthday was fast approaching and in that moment I thought I was going to hurl not because I have a fear of aging but because I didn’t feel like I was making any progress in my life – I still need help going to the bathroom and bathing – but then I realized that every birthday is an opportunity to improve myself and with that I was grateful once again. Do you embrace change or resist it? 🙂
