Day 856

Life is too short– that’s what I keep learning  🙁

It’s  4 : 13 PM on day 856 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to stretch my hamstrings, take off and put on a t-shirt – today I had a hard putting my left hand through it’s sleeve our housekeeper helped me tomorrow I’ll try to do it properly by myself –  brush my teeth,  feed myself an egg sandwich for breakfast,  publish my Disability of the Day feature, practice typing with both hands, listen to music – I LOVE The Up Side of Down by Chris August it’s such an awesome song 🙂 –  watch TV and  practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles.

Yesterday I found out Alice Pyne – my biggest inspiration – died on January 12th what struck me most about Alice was her sense of humour and determination to live life to the fullest in spite of terminal cancer (she encouraged people to register to become bone marrow donors, started her own charity, Alice’s Escapes, met amazing people and did amazing things) I have never met Alice in person but through her blog, tweets and Facebook statuses she has inspired me to earn every breath I take by giving more than I can. RIP Alice this world is better because you were in it.

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