I am differently able (in other words, disabled). I prefer "differently able" because every human has differences that make us unique. I use to be on a swim team, play the piano, twirl the baton, travel, teach etc. I had a different life and different experiences, all gifts from God. The gifts are different now and I embrace them with love and gratitude.
I would never have chosen disability as a path through life but I embrace these experiences. WHY? Because they have brought me closer to God and to understanding love and real joy (seeing humanity at its best).
Oh my goodness Peggy, I feel so humbled after reading your posts. You have a great attitude which I am sure helps to get you through the day. If you don't mind me asking, what happened to you? You are very fortunate to have found friends in your church who are willing and able to help you. Thankyou so much for reading my blog and leaving lovely comments. I am intrigued to know how you went from Ireland to America. Have a lovely weekend. I am now your 1st follower. Love Linda x
