Hi Everyone!
Today is a happy and sad day all wrapped up in one! Today is the fourth anniversary of my beloved Mom "Vicky's" death! Also we had a family member pass away and tomorrow is my Great Uncle's funeral! So it's been a difficult and trying few weeks for my family and I!
You should always be thankful for the family you have left because you NEVER know when your last day will be!
So that's why dear readers, it's VERY important for you to learn to become as INDEPENDENT as possible and learn to care for yourself as well as you can because your family aren't always going to be around too help and support you in your every need!
NEVER be afraid to try new things and if things are difficult and scary it's always ok to ask someone for help!
It's also very important that you have people in your life that you can talk with and can TRUST them too help you in any situation good or bad! I'm VERY lucky that I have special people in my life like my Dad, my Aunt, and my cousin's! Who TRUELY care about me and love for who I am and NOT what I look like!
If you ever want too live in your own place someday, it's VERY important for you to try something new every day! Sure things will be scary at first but if you NEVER try new things by yourself you'll NEVER succeed in becoming independent and live in your place and start a life for yourself!
So please dear readers always cherish and treasure the special people in your lives that mean the MOST too you because,you NEVER know when your last day will come!

A WONDERFUL DAY AT THE MALL WITH MY COUSIN'S!
Hi Everyone!
I just wanted too let all of you dear readers out there know that my cousin's went out too the mall today! We had a ball hanging out together! We bought some things that we needed and some things we just bought because we felt like it!
Then we ate lunch in the food court! So all in all we had a AWSOME day together!
You should NEVER feel embarrassed or ashamed to do fun things with family and friends because of your disability! You should be thankful that you can go places and do things that you enjoy! A lot of disabled people can't drive, but just because you can't drive doesn't mean that you can't enjoy activities and have a fun-filled life!
It's always VERY important to have special people or a special person that you can rely on to help live a fun,active, and NORMAL life as possible! You should ALWAYS treat people with respect, because if you don't treat people with respect than no one will want too have anything to do with you!
I'm VERY lucky that I have special people,close friends and family that truly care about the real me, the person that's inside and NOT how I look on the outside! Having C.P. isn't fun for anyone, but when you have C.P. you just have to make the best of it! SURE things are difficult hard for you to accomplish, but if you try your hardest to be as NORMAL as possible your life will be a WHOLE lot different!
Please everyone take my advice, a disabled persons life can be hard and is very difficult for someone that's NOT disabled to understand and deal with at times, it also can be very stressful! But if you have a strong family network and strong friendships with people, your life doesn't have to be a scary place, with people that are willing to help you, you will be able to do things that you've always dreamed of doing that you couldn't do by yourself!
Also being disabled is a TOTALLY different world, than someone that is non-disabled or "NORMAL" "As I call it"! People truly don't have a clue on what a day to day life it is for someone with C.P.!
Everything I do, I have to think BEFORE I do it! It can be VERY frustrating and mading! It's also uncomfortable for me to ask people for help ALL the time! So that's why I'm lucky that I'm as self-sufficient as I am!
I'm VERY lucky that I have special friends and my loving family that likes me for who I am and NOT for what I look like! It doesn't matter to them if somethings take longer than they should, and they're willing to wait around and help!
Always remember this, just because you have Cerebral Palsy or any other disability, it doesn't mean that people have to or will wait for you, because guess what, they DON'T! I'm just very lucky that it doesn't bother my family and friends!
So all in all, PLEASE take my advice, if you do you'll find your life can be and will be a wonderful journey! YOU have to choose how YOU want you life to live your! No one can make that decision for you, you are the ONLY one that can make things easier for yourself!

YESTERDAY MY IN-GROUND SWIMMING POOL WAS OPENED!
Hi Everyone!
I just wanted too tell all of you that yesterday my in-ground swimming pool was opened! I'm VERY happy about that! During the summer I invite friends and family over for pool parties and cookouts!
Usually after I have a LONG day of swimming, my muscles are EXTRA tried because in the pool they work differently or normally than they would on land! In the water I don't have too worry about falling or losing my balance, the water holds my body up on it's own because of the boyacy! So that's why I enjoy swimming SO much! Also when I'm in the pool I feel like I'm a totally different person! That's a good feeling!
It's also a WONDERFUL feeling not too have to worry about falling, or thinking constantly about how you are suppose too walk and hold your body up!
You see dear readers, whenever I walk with my canes or my walker I'm constantly having too think about every step I take! Also I have too be careful that I don't slip and fall! When the floor is wet or something is on the floor my canes just slip away from me and down I go! But when I use the walker I sometimes go faster and don't fall as much!
It would be easier to say I just give up and be done with it! But I don't look at C.P. that way! I've always tried and are still trying to be as normal and self-sufficient as I can be!
I can thank my late Mom for that! She taught me everything I know in order to take care of myself and be independent! She always use to tell me, that no one is going to do things for you, you have to learn how to do things for yourself! Sure enough she was right!
For some of my Physical Therapy I've had too use the swimming pool with a Occupational and Physical Therapist to help me loosen muscles that get tight, especially my legs! Also when I walk, my feet are turned out like a duck's! I have NO difficulty with my upper body, I just have difficulty balancing and controlling where my weight should be that's why I can't stand up myself! I need assistance from someone or something to help me! Like a walker or canes, ext!
I also go too Massage Therapy and that releases those tight muscles so I feel better and are NOT hurting constantly! When I am through with my Massage Therapist I'm worn out, because after she releases my muscles all my body wants to do is sleep! What Massage Therapy does is it makes your body loosen up so when you walk its much looser, easier, and NOT as painful! Also when I'm done with my Massage Therapist my feet are completely strait!

I WANTED TO WISH ALL THE MOTHER'S OUT THERE A EARLY "HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY"!
Hi Everyone!
I just wanted too wish everyone an early "Happy Mother's Day"! It's very important for you too spend as MUCH time with your Mom as possible because you NEVER know when your last day could come! Let her know what a VERY important person she is in your life and thank her for ALL that she does for you! We take it for granted it but our Mother's do much more for us than we realize and we NEVER seem too thank them enough! So do something special for her in return! Then she'll know that she is being respected, thought of, and loved NOT just on "Mother's Day" but every day of the year!
Even if things are hard for you, and can't go out too the store and buy your Mom a gift, make her a special picture and card to say thank you! I'm sure she'll appreciate any gift that she receives! Gifts are always the BEST if they come from the heart!
I hope everyone enjoys a very special "Mother's Day" with their Mom's!

Hi Everyone!
It's that time of year again, for kids too be excited about Easter! Hunting for and coloring Easter eggs, plus eating LOTS and LOTS of chocolate! I hope everyone enjoys the special day with family and friends!
If you have Cerebral Palsy or any other physical disabilities, in order for you too go Easter egg hunting you may have too use a wheelchair or motorized kart to walk around in the grass! Also you might need help from family members or close friends!
So NEVER feel ashamed for what you CAN'T do but be happy for the things you CAN do! You are NO different than anyone else! If people look at you funny or in a odd way DON'T pay any attention too them because this also is your special holiday to enjoy with loved ones!
I hope everyone has a safe and Happy Easter!
