I was discussing writing with a young teen that has CP. She handwrites all of her writing even though it is difficult. I asked her why she doesn't use a computer and type the writing and she said, " I hand write things because I can. When I can't do that anymore, I will find an alternative, but for now, I CAN." That spoke to me. Sometimes I learn more from young people than adults.

It speaks of all the things we take for granted. Also there is something about hand writing a story or a poem that just makes you feel good. I still hand write most of my stuff that I write.

Your posting has got me thinking what things from me/ I have that I should appreciate more although they are difficult to do because they are should be considered blessings. Other people would want what I have yet I keep wanting what other people have which I don't. Thank you for this beautiful posting...=)
