Day 2006: Regret, Embarrassment and Life

Embarrassment lasts a few moments regret lasts a lifetime – that’s my message to the world.

 

It’s 12 : 25 PM on day 2006 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read James 4,  learn one new thing – Poison Ivy is also a food source for animals. White-tailed Deer, Muskrat, and Eastern Cottontail eat the leaves and stems. Many birds, including crows, bluebirds, and turkeys eat the fruit. Insects munch on the leaves.–have breakfast and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign – raised $3 297 only $2 953 more to raise by 10 Jan 2017  (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far :)  ).

 

Yesterday I realized it’s okay to embarrass myself for the things I believe in and care about embarrassment lasts a few moments regret lasts a lifetime.

Day 1994: Big Risk, Embarrassment and Big Reward

With big risk comes big reward or embarrassment – that’s what I’ve realized.

 

It’s 12 : 00 PM on day 1994 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Hebrews 5,  learn one new thing –  All of the planets, except for Earth, were named after Greek and Roman gods and godesses. The name Earth is an English/German name which simply means the ground. It comes from the Old English words ‘eor(th)e’ and ‘ertha’. In German it is ‘erde’. – have breakfast and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign – yesterday Susanchechi   donated $25, Reshma Jacob donated $50 and another chechi (who I think would prefer to remain anonymous) donated $50  (thanks  so much you guys your support  means the world to me :) ) which brings the total raised to  $3 162 only $3 088 more to raise by 10 Jan 2017  (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far :)  ).

 

Today I realized that with big risk comes big reward or embarrassment I tend to put myself out there and ask people for things that other people would be too embarrassed to ask for and sometimes it works out really well while other times I’m left red-faced either way I carry on secure in the knowledge that regardless of how the world responds I will survive and I will thrive.

Day 738

Embarrassment is definitively not one of my fears  – that’s what I keep learning 🙂

It’s  1 : 57 PM on day 738 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, prepare and publish my Disability of the Day feature,  work, feed myself  a peanut butter sandwich  for breakfast and watch TV.

Yesterday I went back to the doctor who referred me to an ENT (ear, nose and throat specialist) who was confused as to why I was there since I wasn’t throwing up any of what I was eating (apparently if there was an obstruction in my throat everything that I put in would come out just as fast) he examined me anyway and told me to call him in a week if things didn’t get better so he could arrange for me to have a Barium Swallow test done I pray it won’t get to that and that I can chalk yesterday up to one of the many embarrassing moments in my life.

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