It’s 12 : 16 PM on day 1790  of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth,  pray, read Matthew 22,    publish my Disability of the Day feature,  have breakfast,  learn one new thing –Enervate [en·er·vate] tr.v. 1. To weaken or destroy the strength or vitality. 2. Lacking physical, mental, or moral vigor. “Prolonged exposure to the sun and dehydration enervated the desert racing team.”– and  promote my Educate Generations campaign – $3 441 raised so far (thanks all )

Today is my brother’s 15^th birthday (goodness I feel old I still remember visiting my mother in hospital after she gave birth to him) there’s nothing like having a brother sometimes I want to strangle him and other times I want to hug him. Happy birthday Kevin I know I’m like nails on a chalkboard sometimes but please know that mommy, daddy, Neethu and I will never intentionally steer you wrong in life we love you so much and only want the best for you.
