Today is World Smile Day and in this moment I think of my Smile Train family who work every day to correct clefts worldwide. A cleft lip is a physical split or separation of the two sides of the upper lip. Clefts are correctable in 45 minutes and surgery costs $250. If you wish to make a difference this World Smile Day donate to Smile Train https://www.smiletrain.org

The things you dislike about yourself maybe your saving graces – that’s my message to the world.

 

It’s 3: 35 PM on day 2944 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray  read a Bible verse  and spend time with family and friends.

 

On Monday I went to my dentist and found out I have no cavities which made me so happy but the reason for my lack of cavities shocked me it turns out because I have large gaps between all my teeth I’m able to brush between each one properly and all this time I hated the gaps between my teeth just goes to show the things you dislike about yourself maybe your saving graces.

Day 2943: My Mental Trash Bin

You have to be selective in what you allow yourself to absorb– that’s my message to the world.

 

It’s 12 : 00 PM on day 2943 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray,  read a Bible verse  and do some work.

 

Recently I realized that I have to be selective in what I allow myself to absorb from the world I often hear from others that anonymous sources say things about me things that hurt my feelings but now I’m wondering why I allow people who don’t even have the courage to own their own words to affect how I feel about myself so from now on everything that’s said about me anonymously will go directly into my mental trash bin. New rule: If people speak about you anonymously and you hear about it whatever was said does not count.

Today I realized that though I have yet to see the Eiffel Tower or the Colosseum where I am in life and the way I choose to roll through the world is  something to be proud of and grateful for.

Day 2939: Light and Darkness

Leave a reply

Only in the darkness can we truly appreciate light – that’s what I’ve realized.

.It’s 5 : 34 PM on day 2939 of my journey towards independence and I managed read and spend time with family

Yesterday we were in the dark the whole night and when the light came on my dad remarked I’d never noticed our neighbours’ lights were so bright before and I have no doubt that that’s true we don’t appreciate the light until we’ve been in the dark
