It is Friday again.
The weeks seem to fly! During
this holiday season, we, including myself, become so caught up in finishing that
last project or test; we forget the reason to celebrate this holiday season. For me, Christmas is a time for having that
extra joy in my heart and to anticipate the upcoming year; a time for renewal
and growth; something to remember as I complete these final weeks of this
semester.

Thanksgiving (continued)
Today, I feel a need to continue last week’s discussion about
Thanksgiving. Always at this time in the
final stretch of the semester, feelings of stress and fatigue are normally in
the forefront in everything I do. How to
type that last paper, not to mention how to reach the level of my
standards, is always a quandary to me at this time of the year. I wonder how can I pull this off again, and
how exactly did I accomplish this before?
Then, I remember how far I’ve come and, yet, I still have “miles to go
before I sleep”, and that, in itself gives me strength to face another class,
and type that essay. Then, I think about
His promise that He is always there, guiding my every “roll”, which gives me
great comfort and energy. For that, I am
eternally thankful!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, everyone!

Blessings
Everyday, but especially at this time of year, I consider
all the blessings I have in my life. Usually,
the list includes a great Mom, wonderful friends and overall a super life, but
there is one thing about Cerebral Palsy that affects some who have the
condition. It is not one of the
challenges I face.
In my English class, we were assigned to do an “Interest
Group” project. My partner and I decided
to research the link between literacy and Cerebral Palsy. Going into the project, I assumed everyone
with Cerebral Palsy had the same literacy abilities I have or close. Surprisingly, though, I came to the
realization that this was not the case.
Sadly, literacy for some who have Cerebral Palsy is a dream, which never
comes true. This week, I feel especially
lucky that I had grandparents who taught me the value of the written word and
that they were there every step of the way through my early educational life. One of my many wishes this month is for those
who have Cerebral Palsy, or are generally disabled to have a guiding force in
their life, such as my grandparents were in mine, to show and share the power
of the written word. Hopefully, I will
see that goal realized within my life span.
