Day 2137: Giving and Selfishness

Giving is selfish on my part – that’s what I realized yesterday.

 

It’s 12 : 00  PM on day 2137 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Psalm 91: 4, learn one new thing –The term sand dollar (or sea cookie or snapper biscuit in New Zealand, or pansy shell in South Africa) refers to species of extremely flattened, burrowing sea urchins belonging to the order Clypeasteroida. –   have breakfast,  and work on my  25 Smiles Campaign    –  raised $7 015 only  $5 485 more to raise to reach my second goal of raising $12 500 for Smile Train before Jan 10 2017 (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far 🙂 ) .

 

Yesterday I realized that giving is actually selfish on my part it’s sort of a coping mechanism it takes my mind off my challenges and forces me to look outward.

Day 1759: It’s not all about me

It’s not all about me – that’s what I have to keep reminding myself.

 

It’s 12 : 11 PM on day 1759  of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth,  pray, read Zachariah 9,    publish my Disability of the Day feature, learn one new thing – The feisty Tasmanian devil has the fiercest bite of all, according to a group of curious scientists. They calculated the bite force of the animals, then adjusted for their size. The least weasel and the giant panda (yes, a member of the carnivore order) also ranked high. – have breakfast  and promote my Educate Generations campaign – Meg Guegan donated $30 today (thanks SO MUCH Meg for your ongoing support it means a lot to me 🙂 ) which brings my total raised to $3 301 (I can hardly believe it thank you to God and everybody who has supported (and continues to support) this campaign).

 

Today I realized that when people compliment people in my life on how well they take care of me (which they do I must say my family and our housekeeper help me out a lot) it’s not in an effort to make me feel like a burden it’s to make the people in my life feel good about themselves I have to keep reminding myself that it’s not all about me.
