Looking At What Is Possible
I asked my mom,”
Do you see me as a disabled person?”
I started to look at my accomplishments and I saw everything I have done. I now get that, yes, my life is inspiring but I too have bumps in the road “disabilities”!
I realized that there is no such thing as a “disabled person” WE ALL have some disabilities, in the form of circumstances, that stop us.
My mom said,“ No,
look at all that you have accomplished.
Even with all of your circumstances you never stop, that is not a
disabled person.”

Hey, Veronica,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from a fellow person with a disability. (Note: it's a modifier of my personhood, the totality of my being.) Sorry, I had to make that political statement in the midst of the seasons greetings. Hope you're enjoying time with family and friends. Hope to see you in the new year.
