I type this week's post distracted, as ever. I do not talk about it though as the devils are winning (bad bad bad BAD). Proof that money cannot buy success.
Anyway, the weather has been good, ain't it (change of subject)? The sun always puts a smile on peoples' faces. I have learnt a very good route along the riverside into Kingston. Yes, of course I have befriended a brilliant cafe as i reach the town. Fortunately, I know that it is important to 'know' the right people. I realise however, unfortunately, that some people must now recognise me as 'the one in the wheelchair'. That is why i will surprise them when i am seen in the future, walking, out of the wheelchair. I'm sorry, but i have to remain positive, it is the only reason for anyone/thing's existence. Positivity = existence.
OK, er, right, end of maths and physics lessons, sorry. I feel like I am used to it now, existing below everyone else. You only learn so much of this whilst in hospital or rehab homes, and a large percentage of 'others' are also wheelchair restricted or indeed bed-ridden. It is since I have lived independently (99% of people are 'able') that I have experienced life in the real world. It's great ain't it?!
I know that I am 'different' to everybody else. But ah well, no-one's the same, everyone's different. I am very fortunate in that I have kept my mind strong and managed to call on it when needed. "A beautiful mind or a beautiful body, I know which one I'm gonna end up with". Another song lyric, from the first Verve album, ' Beautiful Mind' off 'A Storm In Heaven'.
Anyway, I feel that I am now used to existing below everybody! I guess I just make up for it with my extreme intelligence! I jest. No, seriously, I feel that I am psychologically used to this sub-level existence. Fortunately, I realise how important it is to smile. By smiling, one reassures people that things are ok or good and well. It is a positive gesture, can be passed forward on and on. Even if communication is limited for whatever reason, a smile can last forever and is invincible. It is such a simple way of communicating, and creates good. Everyone wins : )
