Day 1921: The fantastic uncle Rajiv and family

People who’ve been though a lot have a lot of compassion and love – that’s what I know.

It’s 6 :  55 PM on day 1825 of my journey towards independence and day 17 of our India trip continued reading School of Greatness by Lewis Howes – it’s a great book I’m enjoying it so far –  went to Perumala – visited Saint Gregorios’s tomb and bed (it’s a place of pilgrimage and a very holy place) – had lunch at Hotel Raj – best butterchicken curry ever – and visited some of dad’s family

A few days ago I met uncle Rajiv – my dad’s cousin (I think) – uncle Rajiv brother’s nicknamed Big Son (in Malayalam)  is unable to walk because he had Polio and we were told that his sister-in-law is also  slightly intellectually disabled I felt that family’s compassion for me as soon as I entered their house I felt like they valued me as a human being it was really something.

 

 

Day 1093: There are good people out there

There are good people out there – that’s what I keep learning 🙂

 

It’s 12  : 04 PM on day 1093 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to  pray, brush my teeth, read 1 Samuel 27, publish my Disability of the Day feature,  feed myself Bran Flakes for breakfast,   tweet and Facebook about my campaign -nobody donated so far today either but I not giving up I think God is trying to teach me patience by making  me wait (Update: I just saw that my friend Marie Ang donated $70 (thanks Marie) so I’ve officially reached my goal 🙂  – practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles and stretch my hamstrings.

 

Yesterday I read Syria: western activists volunteer to become ‘human shields’ – it’s an article about how hundreds of western peace activists have volunteered to become “human shields” in government-held parts of Syria – I was blown away that people would lay their lives on the line for people they didn’t know just goes to show there are good people out there.
