Day 2346: My Evolving Relationship with my Elders

Leave a reply

How we treat our elders is a reflection of the people we grow up to be – that’s what I’ve realized.

 

It’s 11 :  38 AM on day 2346 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray,  read John 3: 16. set my weekly and daily goals – lots to do this week and today –  and learn a new word – Mellifluous [mel·lif·lu·ous] adj. Sweet or musical; pleasant to hear. “She had a mellifluous voice.”

 

Today I realized that how we treat our elders is a reflection of the people we grow up to be my parents and I often butt heads on a variety of issues but as I’ve aged I’ve grown in reverence of them because I’ve realized that no two people in the world want better for me and my siblings than they do so now even when I disagree with their methods I so appreciate their intention which is always and forever to protect and help me and my siblings.

 

Day 1536: Do you obey your elders if it does you no harm?

Leave a reply

If it does you no harm just obey your elders – that’s my message to myself and the world.

 

It’s 12 : 04 PM on day 1536 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray, read Isaiah 23,   publish my Disability of the Day feature,   promote my Educate Generations campaign–on $900  –    stretch my hamstrings, feed myself peanut butter sandwiches for breakfast,hang out with my sister,  make sandwiches for sisi’s (our housekeeper’s) neighborhood with  my sister’s help  and continue promoting my campaign – still on $900 but that’s okay $900 is better than $0 🙂

 

Today I realized if it does me no harm I should just obey my elders I tend to talk back to my elders when I talk back my intention is not to be disrespectful I just have strong opinions about everything and  I want those opinions to be heard which can be misinterpreted as disrespect by some. Do you obey your elders if it does you no harm?

Day 1418: Do you only listen to your elders when you’ve run out of options?

Listen to your elders – that’s what I learned yesterday.

 

It’s 12  : 30  PM on day 1418 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to  pray, read Psalm 105, feed myself  a  peanut butter  sandwich and an orange for breakfast, prepare for my upcoming campaign, practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles and stretch my hamstrings.

 

Yesterday my mother had to beg and plead with me to take cold medication (I hate putting any sort of chemical preparation into my body because I don’t know how my body will react to it) eventually I took the medication and to my surprise I felt much better within hours just goes to show sometimes mother does know best. Do you only listen to your elders when you’ve run out of options?
