Day 827

A group of people that come together in love is a family– that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s  5: 55 PM on day 827 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, publish my Disability of the Day feature, practice typing with both hands, go drop my mom at the airport – she will be in India for the next two weeks – continue reading Always on my Mind by Colette Caddle, feed myself All Bran Flakes for breakfast, practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles,  stretch my hamstrings,     practice sitting some more ,  watch TV and feed myself brown rice and curry for lunch.

Today I was watching Sister Wives – a reality show about this man, his four wives and seventeen kids – the first time I watched it I thought it was just weird but then I remembered something I always tell people different doesn’t mean bad society has such a narrow definition of what it means to be normal and anybody who doesn’t fit into that definition of normal is cast out I think anything that you do that doesn’t hurt yourself or anybody else is normal I mean who am I to look at other people and say they’re not normal some people treat me like I’m not normal because I’m a little different I strive never to do that to other people.   Are you part of a family?

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