My beginning.

What would I like to accomplish from a blog? A couple directions for writing on a blog would be: a daily diary of my life in a chair, or gathering information from various individuals who have a disability. Is there a way to do both and not sound negative or depressing. Most people have some kind of disability, but may not be as obvious. What exactly is a disability?

Wikipedia states: A disability may be physical, cognitive, sensory, emotional, developmental or some combination of these. I would venture to guess many people would fit under this umbrella of definition.

The interesting part is how we live with the disability. I think many times I live as a survivor, but also as the victim. Victim will jump in my life when "I feel sorry for myself." I read somewhere, the key is to live life to the fullest each day, not as a survivor or victim but as a human being with blessings and challenges.

Why Now?

Sitting in this chair can be very frustrating at times. I would love to get up and run away from the chair. I had a hard summer with fighting infections resulting from a surgery. Everything takes so much more effort sitting in the chair. The ability to move around, exercise, and use less energy is desired.
