You have to be patient with yourself – that’s what I learned today  🙂

It’s  2 : 34 PM on day 857 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to stretch my hamstrings, take off my dirty t-shirt, clean myself after going to the bathroom – I was so happy I was able to do that all by myself can you imagine what it’s like (sorry to be graphic) to be almost 22 and to need someone to help you wipe your fecal matter it’s humiliating of course the people in your life try to make you feel better about it by saying stuff like it’s just the remains of what you ate but still it doesn’t make you feel any less small in the moment  – put a clean t-shirt on – today I was even able to put my left hand through it’s sleeve by myself I’m so proud of myself 🙂 –     brush my teeth, feed myself All Bran Flakes for breakfast, pray, read Genesis 31, publish my Disability of the Day feature, practice typing with both hands,  practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles  and watch TV.

Today I did most things with regards to personal care by myself which made me realize I could do anything I set my mind to it would just take a lot of time patients has never been one of my strong suits but I’m learning to be patient with myself. Are you patient with yourself?
