Day 816

Leave a reply

Life is fragile – that’s what I keep learning.

It’s  4 : 14 PM on day 816 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, listen to music, prepare and publish my Disability of the Day feature, practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles, feed myself an  egg sandwich for breakfast and watch TV.

This morning our housekeeper came to me and said she wasn’t feeling well so I told her to sit down and the next thing I know she was passed out right in front of me luckily my sister was around she called our extended family who came over and called the ambulance our housekeeper’s fine now thank God – her blood pressure was either too high or too low – but seeing her passed out like that really freaked me out and made me appreciate my own health.  Do you appreciate your life because you know your life is fragile?

Nothing is as big as we make it out to be – that’s what I keep learning   🙂

It’s 2 : 12 PM on day 690 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, feed myself All Bran Flakes for breakfast and work.

Today (August 3rd ) when I found out I wouldn’t be able to publish any posts for the next three days due to possible technical issues I was majorly bummed but then I thought to myself of all the things I could be bummed about I choose to be bummed about this there are children dying of cancer I have my health and my family what more could I want  so I can’t publish my blog posts for three days big deal I’m important but I’m not that important people will survive even if they don’t read about my day for three days and besides I will still write only I won’t be able to publish the entries until Monday.  Do you make yourself unhappy by turning small things into big things?
