Day 1166: Help people with grace

Leave a reply

Help people with grace – that’s what I learned today.

 

It’s 12  : 22 PM on day 1166 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to   brush my teeth, pray, feed myself  All Bran Flakes and boiled egg for breakfast, go to the Orthotist to  have my new wheelchair’s belt adjusted – people see a wheelchair that a person is sitting on and assume that that particular wheelchair was made to fit that particular person in reality you order a wheelchair, it arrives and then it’s tailored to suit your needs and preferences being wheelchair-bound is a such hassle sometimes, like today,  I would give anything to have problems that other twenty-two-year-olds have –       read  2 Kings 24,  publish my Disability of the Day feature and practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles.

 

This morning something happened that made me realize when helping people it’s important to do so with grace just because  somebody needs your help it doesn’t give you license to treat them like dirt. When you help people do you do you do so with grace?

Day 1111: Count your wealth in how many people you help

Count your wealth in how many people you help and you’ll never be poor– that’s what I keep learning 🙂

 

It’s 1 : 17 PM on day 1111 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth,  pray,  feed myself boiled egg and All Bran Flakes for breakfast,read 2 Samuel 14,    publish my Disability of the Day feature,  tweet and Facebook about my campaign – nobody donated so  far today either 17 days to go –  and start reading The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho – people have been raving about this book forever and just from reading the first few pages I can see why.

 

Yesterday afternoon on our way to my physiotherapist’s appointment my dad and I were talking about money and I remember saying count your wealth in how many people you help I may never be monetarily rich but when I think about all the people I’ve been fortunate enough to help I feel like the richest person on the planet.  Do you always see yourself as poor because you measure wealth in terms of money?

Don’t walk behind me; I may not lead. Don’t walk in front of me; I may
not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend. –  Albert Camus

It’s 1: 11 PM on day 405 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, publish my Kid of the Week  feature,  prepare and publish my Disability of the Day feature,  tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign – no luck – and feed myself pancakes with coconut and sugar for brunch.

As you know I love helping people who help others which is why I’m
sharing this tweet I stumbled across yesterday Ppl, take a min, like the
FB page. Feed a child! RT time 2 feed the world help @50cent
feed a millio… (cont) http://deck.ly/~TPA4q by @tenindenmark
(Tamela from Denmark) and reiterating her call for you to like this Facebook
page https://www.facebook.com/StreetKing and  feed a hungry child – one like =   1 meal for a hungry child and if we get the page to one million likes by tomorrow which is one week from when the campaign started 50 cent (the rapper) will double the donation.  Do you walk beside your friends and support them in whatever they do?

Are we connecting on Twitter? If not, say hi at http://twitter.com/Nisha360

If you’ve given to my cause or you can’t give now, please help me by sharing my cause with others. You can tweet about it like my friend Stan Faryna. This is the tweet he uses: @Nisha360 is a brave, smart young woman trying to make a better world for us all. Please help her do an amazing thing. http://bit.ly/hC7vOu

Stan’s very sweet for saying so, but feel free to write what reflects you best.

Thanks to all my friends out there who are helping me make my dream come true: to make a better world for all of us!
