Day 892

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. ~ Albert Einstein

It’s 2 : 59 PM on day 892 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to take off my dirty t-shirt and put a clean t-shirt on,  stretch my hamstrings, practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles, brush my teeth,   pray, read Exodus 12, publish my Disability of the Day feature, practice typing with both hands and   feed myself bread and baked beans  for breakfast.

Last night on the news I heard that UCT (University of Cape Town) students and staff marched in protest of the rape of the women and children in this country and although I think marching is better than doing nothing I question the effectiveness of these marches against rape every time something horrific happens in this country we march but nothing really changes I think we should stop talking and marching and start doing something different what that something is I have no idea but having Cerebral Palsy has taught me that if what I’m doing isn’t working I should do something different.   Do you do the same things over and over again and expect different results?

I LOVE hearing from you feel free to leave a comment below.
