The little things are the big things – that’s what I keep realizing
This morning as babies laughed, giggled and pushed my wheelchair around I couldn’t help but be grateful to be me, to be there to bear witness to pure joy (I pray my ears and eyes never forget the sounds and sights of today…. truly magical)
“Our duty as Christians is to offer peace to everyone we meet what they do with that peace is none of our business.” – Fr. Stanly James
It’s 8 :10 PM on day 3211 since I started blogging and I managed to pray, read Bible, go to church and work on my 28 For 28 Campaign benefiting charity:water – we’ve now raised $3 776 of $28 000 with 85 days to go
Today the topic of offering people peace was discussed in church during which Fr. James said our duty as Christians is to offer peace to everyone we meet what they do with that peace is none of our business I found that be such an important point because so often we hold back from giving so much because we worry how what we offer will be received but we needn’t be because as the Friar said how people respond to our offer of peace is none of our business our duty is to merely offer it.
“Water is fundamental to all life – from elephants and giraffes, to humans and microbes, we all need water; and it’s one of the first things we look for when we are searching for extraterrestrial life.” – Tanmay Bakshi
It’s 4: 36 PM on day 3210 since I started blogging and I managed to pray, read Bible, spend time outside and work on my 28 For 28 Campaign benefiting charity:water – two people donated $560 we’ve now raised $3 776 of $28 000 with 86 days to go
Today I woke up to find the video Tanmay Bakshi had made in support of my campaign I was so impressed and moved (thank you Tanmay for your amazing support – you are an example of all that’s right with our world)
No matter who’s here or who’s not I will survive – that’s what I’ve realized
Today something happened that made me realize that no matter who’s here or who’s not I will survive and thrive
Appreciate the now– that’s my message to the world
Recently I’ve been reminding myself more and more to appreciate the now because nothing remains the same forever – we’re so busy getting where we want to go we forget the magic in the now
Absence makes the heart grow fonder– that’s what I’ve realized
My parents are back we are all so happy and grateful
It’s most important to be kind when it’s hardest to be kind– that’s what I’ve realized
Today life tasted me and the lesson I learned was it’s most important to be kind when it’s hardest to be kind
We can’t choose the labels people give us but we can choose to wear them well– that’s what I’ve realized
Today I was reminded that we can’t choose the labels people give us but we can choose to wear them well – I can’t change that I’m differently-abled but I can be the best representative of differently-abled people everywhere
You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone– that’s what I’ve realized

Everything always works– that’s what I’ve realized
