Hi Everyone!
Well, it's a rainy day in my neck of the woods! I would like too explain about how the weather effects your muscles when you have C.P.! When you have Cerebral Palsy or any other disability, the air pressure effects how your muscles feel that day!
If it's rainy, snowing, or very cold outside, your body doesn't move easily because it hurts too walk or move! If it's sunny and about 90 D. outside, your body moves easily and you have no problem!
Sometimes when you have muscle pain, you have to take pills, just so that you feel good that day! I just take things one day at a time and see how I feel!
The way your muscles WON'T hurt also depends on how your mood is that day! I choose too be a happy person and enjoy what life has in store for me!

THE ANNUAL RAMP WHEEL-O-THON!
My Aunt Marcia and I participate in the annual Ramp-Wheel-O-Thon every year! The Ramp-Wheel-O-Thon is an organization for people with Cerebral Palsy and other disabilities too meet people and socialize together every year! This will be the third year in a row that we have done this!
It makes me feel good to know that I can help other people achieve their goals and become independent as possible! The Ramp-Wheel-O-Thon is a three mile walk along the river! Then after the walk there is a picnic lunch served along with raffle prizes that follow!
You can ask family members and friends to walk with you on the wheel-o-thon! You also ask them too sponsor you! If you receive many sponsor's your team raises money and if your team raises the highest amount of money then you win a prize!
Also after the walk there is a picnic lunch which is served and there is a raffle prize drawing!
I participate in this event because I want people with disabilities too not be afraid of the world and there is a life out there for people with Cerebral Palsy, you just have to not worry about what people think and you know that you are doing something positive for yourself! Plus it makes you feel good that you have accomplished your goals into becoming independent!

A NIGHT OUT AT THE MOVIES!
Hey Everyone!
I wanted too let all of you know that I went out too the movie theater with my cousin, her family and few of her friends until the wee hours of the night! Then we went back too her friends house too have snacks! We got back too my cousin's house around midnight! We had a BLAST!Then the next day my Aunt Marcia and I went too my second cousin's basketball game, then went back too her house for dinner!
Just because you have Cerebral Palsy doesn't mean that you have too give up on life! You may have too use equipment too get around like a walker or a wheelchair or motorized kart! Things may take longer than you would like them to but you have to accept your life for what it is!
You should NEVER feel sorry for yourself and say I can't do this or I won't do this because things are hard for me! When you have struggles and things are difficult you try to do everything as independent as you can! Also remember things are difficult for everyone NOT just you! You just happen too have struggles differently than other people! You a NO different than anyone else! You NEVER GIVE UP! If you ever want too live independently you have too take the annotative to try to do things yourself first before asking for assistance! If you NEVER try anything yourself, you'll NEVER succeed in becoming independent!
I choose to be as independent as possible, once in awhile it feels awkward too ask someone for help, even if they're a close friend or family member! I know they'll always help me if I ask them but they have their own lives as well, they aren't always able too put their life on hold to help a loved one! So that's why you have too not be afraid too try new things yourself!
NEVER feel ashamed of your disability, it's nothing bad or it's nothing anyone has done too you! It so happened that when you were born you had an injury too the brain and it's permanent!
You may have to have many surgery's, Occupational, Physical, and Speech therapies in order to live a normal life but you know what, if that what it takes for you to live a normal life as possible that's what it takes!, that's what it takes!
I'm fortunate that in my life I've had many surgery's and years of therapy that I can live a normal life as possible, it may not be my first choice but at least I'm walking, even if it is with canes and walker! So always be grateful for what you have achieved in your life and hold on too that because wonderful things could happen to you when you least accept! So NEVER give up! YOU'RE SPECIAL JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE YOU!
That's all for today!

LEARNING TO LIVE INDEPENDENTLY!
Hi Everyone!
I've spent many years learning to become independent! I try to do everything I can for myself without asking for any one's help first! I also think it's very important for people with Cerebral Palsy and other disabilities too not be afraid of the world, and try too be self-sufficient as possible!
I've learned in my experience that life is not a box of chocolates, but when things get tough and difficult for you too do, that doesn't mean that you give up! You try to the best of your ability to achieve your goals!
I look at everyday as a new beginning and a fresh start! Sure walking with walkers, canes, and sometimes even using a wheelchair for long distances is NEVER fun for anyone but if that's what it takes for you too live a normal life as possible that's what it takes!
Don't EVER feel ashamed of your disability! Always remember that no one or nothing did this too you! The injury just happened when you were born! It's no one's fault, but somethings in life things happen and we have too accept whatever challenges we face!
If we have the proper care, and support from our loved ones we'll always be just fine!
Don't ever feel embarrassed too ask for help or assistance from a loved one! Your loved one doesn't understand your whole situation! But they will always try too help you and be there for you whenever times get tough!
It might good idea for you too explain too them some of the challenges that you face and then they'll be able too help you get involved in activities that you might want too look into! Like dancing, playing an instrument, playing sports etc. You can always express what you would like too do! They are ways for people with Cerebral Palsy and other disabilities too always feel accepted!
You can join a function called RAMP that lets people with Cerebral Palsy live a "NORMAL" life! They go too movies, go out too lunch, go bowling, taking nature walks along the river etc!
So NEVER feel ashamed of your C.P. is not a bad thing, it could be a wonderful thing! People that have Cerebral Palsy are NOT bad or abnormal people, they just have more struggles than people without disabilities!
I'm more fortunate then a lot of people with C.P. because I'm very self-sufficient, I can walk, talk, and take care of my personal care all by myself! So in that aspect I'm very independent! I do need some help from my friends and family once in awhile and sometimes it feels uncomfortable too have someone help you ALL the time! But if that's what it takes for you to live a normal life as possible, that's what it takes!
That's all for today! Please check back for more upcoming events!

OUT ON THE FARM!
Hi Everyone!
I've spent this weekend out on the farm having a blast! I've baked cookies, played the piano, and visited my Grandma and Grandpa! I stayed with my Aunt Marcia! My Dad and his new wife are on vacation for the week with our dog Bo, who is three years old and very cute!
I like to swim in my swimming pool and have cookouts in the summer! I've been taking piano lessons for seven years and become very well at the piano! It's something I really enjoy! I enjoy spending time with my cousin's as well!
I like riding go-karts and seadews,I like anything fast!
My favorite music band is the B-52's! I like a diversion of styles of music, anything from musicals too alternative rock too opera! My favorite singers are Celine Dion and Linda Ronstadt! I also enjoy pianist's Elton John, Billy Joel, Bruce Hornsby, and Jim Brickman!
When I was little I had many surgery's and physical, occupational, and speech therapy! In order for me too become independent! For the most part I'm very self-sufficient! I walk with stick canes and walker! I use a wheelchair for long distances and sometimes a motorized kart!
I also am huge musical buff! I love The Wizard of Oz, The Sound of Music, Oklahoma, Carousel, and The Music Man! I also enjoy Broadway shows as well!
I've had too face many obstacles and challenges in my life that have been hard, but if you keep a positive attitude on life everything will work out as planned! But you get too decide on how you want too live you life! I choose too live my life as independent and self-sufficant as possible!
That's all for today! Please watch for upcoming events!
