Well, I decided that talking about yesterday's events really didn't cover TODAY'S news, so here is today in a nutshell...
It's been raining today. I have very mixed emotions about rain. At the forefront of my mind is the pain that it causes me. I have arthritis in my back and feet, so every time the barometric pressure changes (goes from sunny to stormy or vise versa) the arthritis hits and I'm down for the count.
Because I'm generally in so much pain, my emotions take a hit, too. It REALLY, REALLY frustrates me to have to stop my life and sit things out until the weather clears up! I'm afraid I'm not a very nice patient in that regard.
So, today, I'm laying in bed working on my websites and thinking of all the things I'd like to see happen with this blog. There's the obvious concerns, of course - Will anybody take time to actually read this thing, or is it just a waste of time? Will the information I provide through it make any difference? People stop to ask me about my circumstances all the time, but do they really care? I guess only time will be able to answer those questions.
I would LOVE to get up to 100 followers (or more!) a month through the blog. Even if only one person out of all those people took the information to heart and began to see a person with disabilities as a person, and not some kind of side-show freak to be stared at, then my time and efforts would be well spent.
Today, I'm grateful for the rain. Aside from having the necessary water for drinking, washing, and upcoming summer events, it's also given me the personal time I needed to continue building the foundations for this blog. It is truly one of my missions in life to educate and make people aware of what goes on behind the wheelchair, crutches, blind person's cane, deaf person's hearing aid, or simply the face that can be seen with the eyes, but doesn't seem to be 'all there'. We may all wear different shoes, but we're all on the same path that leads toward friendship, love, peace, and acceptance.
