the medal

Everybody gets presents at Christmas.
Everybody gets paid for a job well done.
Everybody gets wisdom as they age.
But does everyone get recognition for just surviving life when it's difficult?
My mother used to say when I did something right, what do you want from me a medal?
My answer today July 31, 2011 is yes please mom I would like a very big and shiny one

Unless you\'re disabled You don\'t understand what it\'s like to be that way. I was unable to tie my own shoes until I was 13 years old.In part because I had a short leg brace from the age of 7 until i4, I needed help to put the brace on and I think in part because of coodination problems. My older sister saw me tie my shoes one day and said Hey I didn;t know you could do that I said I didn\'t either. It was a GOLD Medal day for me. Try not to dwell on the past the past is the past and you can\'t change ANY of it.Be the person you have become NOW. Not the person you WERE. Hugs-Stephanie
