Day 563

Crying and whining doesn’t solve anything– that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s 4: 01  PM on day 563 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 vegetable burger for breakfast, drink tea by myself, watch TV, practice turning on my side and  feed myself vegetable biryani  for lunch.

Today frustrated that I couldn’t turn on my side I found myself in tears in that moment I remember thinking it would take as much time and energy for me to learn how to turn myself as it would for me to cry so I practiced, practiced, practiced and eventually, about 15 minutes later, I was able to turn on my side by myself which is why I’m pledging to cry/whine less and do more it will forever suck that I am not able to do things as easily as others but this is the life I’ve been given and I’m choosing to get on with it. Do you cry and whine about your problems instead of fixing them?
