Clip Time!

Hello Lovelies! Been a whirlwind week or so, let me tell ya! I had to miss last Sunday's installment because I was traveling (thank you once again, Amtrak; you've been a good friend), and then on Thursday of THIS week, I was still recovering from that whilst dealing with more personal drama. Yes, I used the word "whilst" in a sentence and I'm neither English NOR pre-19th Century:) I think it's time the Americans show a little class when they speak, don't you? Not that it's not IMPLIED...but it's not, really. Why not use the fancy words you know, rather than feign unintelligence? So anyway, I found this clip on my Facebook feed and thought I should share it with you. In fact the issue of accessibility for all has become a hot topic among members of my own church, which I for one consider fantastic:) In a day and age when life gets more...interesting every day, I find it heart-warming and wonderful that there are still those out there who prioritize those who have been more or less an afterthought to society for far too long. That's my opinion, anyway! Enjoy:

Still Not Quite Visible

Alas, Lovelies, I don't think this is anything new. I would argue the news is scraping the barrel for stories with this particular article. I have ALWAYS felt left behind, being that I am immoble except on foot. And now I'm finding a lot of my friends in similarly vulnerable positions as mine--also feel as I do. Just some food for thought. You may think the world is passing you by, but things always look grim from the lense of your own struggles. I will definitely remember that, moving forward. Recently I spoke with a woman who was there with me on the night my late fiance was admitted to the hospital. We hadn't seen each other in years, and I don't think at this moment she remembered me, but I remembered her. She asked me a number of pointed questions about my capabilities, and in particular those about making decisions and/or plans for myself. I realized that from my perspective, I am limited in mobility. But AT LEAST I still had my wits about me. At least I can deci

Out of Hibernation!

Happy New Year, Lovely Readers! It's been shamefully long since I posted, but SO much has been going on lately! Honestly, my schedule is getting away from me, and one of my first purchases of the New Year will be a day planner. Yes, these days even Google has a calendar for your whole agenda, and I could just rely on that to keep me straight. But just because I write something down in my Google calendar doesn't mean I'm going to check said calendar every day! I could miss something, as I did last night, that I had been hoping to attend. I guess that's just another thing I'll have to forgive myself for; I'm not perfect, in fact I make a lot of mistakes, but that's just the way I am. After so many years of my life, I've decided "screwing up" is just something I do, and nothing to get upset over. Which is what I wish I could tell everyone with a disability. So many of us hold ourselves to an irrational standard, thinking we have to meet a cer
