So today is the day! I’ve learned to embrace birthdays and make them super special! After all, I’ve been through so much, that birthdays are an important reminder that I have survived 100% of my bad days!
Birthdays are an important reminder that I have made it further than people thought I would. My whole life has been an uphill battle with myself. Since early childhood and through my teenage years I battled random illnesses and issues. I have been called a “Bulldog” . And I feel like that is quite fitting for my personality.
Today, I will celebrate. Somehow I ended up with a “cupcake” theme. My nail tech painted a cupcake on my nails, I ordered and received a cupcake for my wheelchair joystick, and managed to find a cupcake sticker for my Dexcom cgm. I feel like I need to buy some cupcakes to share! I also got a balloon to attach to my wheelchair for the day!
This is last year’s post. At that time I was just settling in to a wonderful community, finished my service dog application and begun the wait process, and excited to share the day with new friends. This year is much of the same, but a renewed effort to discover what I can give to others. Through my technology offerings, other ideas, and remaining positive, I hope I am able to influence people more than just purchasing products.
Today, I tried something new- holding my breath that it comes through for me and then I will share. The best thing you can do to help is make sure you are following me on my socials and commenting when possible. Oh and of course I am open to any/all prayers.
Celebrate birthdays, don’t be afraid of getting older, make the memories, and enjoy the attention!
