Day 2428: People Before Things ALWAYS

People before things ALWAYS – that’s always my message to the world.

It’s 11 : 07 AM on day 2428 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, have breakfast, read Isaiah 26: 12 and learn a new word – Quixotic
adj. 1. Idealistic without regard to practicality; impractical. 2. Impulsive: tending to act on whims or impulses. “It was clearly a quixotic case against the defendant.”

This morning, like every other morning, I prayed and counted my blessings I noticed that on my gratitude list I always mention the people I am grateful for and health before I mention the things I am grateful for because I know that people and health, unlike things, are irreplaceable.

There are different ways to be kind – that’s what I have realized.

It’s 10 : 25 AM on day 2426 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, have breakfast, read Nehemiah 1:5 and learn a new word – Odious (o·di·ous) adj. Extremely unpleasant; repulsive. Deserving of hatred or repugnance. “The detective said it was the most odious crime she had ever seen.”

Recently I realized that there are different ways to be kind kindness is not always donating money or even volunteering sometimes kindness is patience or giving a genuine compliment.

Labels limit people– that’s what I know.

It’s 11 : 20 AM on day 2425 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, have breakfast, read Matthew 6: 9, and learn a new word – Acerbic [a·cer·bic] adj. Sharp or biting, as in character or expression. “The director occasionally allowed an acerbic tone to an otherwise subtle dialogue.”

This morning I was thinking about my evolving relationship with labels first I thought of myself as disabled, then I thought of myself as differently-abled and now I will say my movement and speech are affected because I have a neurological condition called Cerebral Palsy it will probably take a lot longer to say that than just to say I’m disabled or differently-abled but it’s more factual and has less negative connotations than the words disabled or differently-abled do.

The only difference between a good day and a bad day is your attitude – that’s my message to the world.

It’s 12 : 13 PM on day 2421 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Exodus 23: 25 have breakfast, and learn a new word – Anachronism
Anachronism [a·nach·ro·nism] n. One that is out of its proper, chronological, or historical order, especially a person or practice that belongs to an earlier time. “A sword is an anachronism in modern warfare.”

Today something small happened that caused me quite a bit of physical pain and I just decided that whether the pain subsided or not I would have a good attitude the whole day because the only difference between a bad day and a good day is my attitude (from my adventuring I learned to push through my fears and in much the same way I push through my pain).
