"Life Lessons"

David, over at Growing Up with a Disability, writes in his post Life Lessons:

"What I am learning and I find intriguing is that it is very liberating to not be caught up in trying to be defined by society. Because of my cerebral palsy, I am already perceived as “different”, so I am more easily able to see that there is no obligation to conform. I have the freedom to pursue my values without the burden of conformity. I think this is a common realization among the people that I have met with disabilities and among the bloggers I read."

I think it's time his blog;'s name was changed to "Grown Up - with a Disability"

Ha!! Thank you for the kind words, Ruth.

When you become a DJ, can I be a guest on your show?
