Day 2545: Be Present and Laugh A Lot

Always be present – that’s my message to the world.

It’s 12 : 58 PM on day 2545 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Genesis 30: 20, have breakfast and promote my 50 New Feet Campaign benefiting MiracleFeet – raised to $3 290 only $9 210 more to raise by June 17, 2018 to help 50 kids with clubfoot .

This morning my mom was helping me with something and said who’s going to take care of you when I die and I responded just take care of me while you’re alive which managed to make her laugh so in that moment I accomplished my mission the future will be whatever it will be but I’m determined to fill the present with faith, kindness, love and joy.

Day 1072: Choosing to laugh

“Sometimes crying or laughing are the only options left, and laughing feels better right now.”
― Veronica Roth, Divergent

It’s 12 : 10 PM on day 1072 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, feed myself Bran Flakes for breakfast, pray, read 1 Samuel 6, publish my Disability of the Day feature, take off my dirty jacket and t-shirt and put a clean t-shirt on and tweet and Facebook about my campaign – no one donated so far today.

On Friday my parents and I went to visit my granny in the hospital and just as we were about to enter the hospital I heard this little boy asking quite loudly what’s wrong with her, what’s wrong with her, what’s wrong with her until we were out of hearing distance I couldn’t help laughing I love kids they’re so honest if you have the choice between laughing or crying always choose to laugh life is too short. When you have the option between laughing or crying do you laugh or cry?
