Yesterday, my big accomplishment was getting dressed all by myself.
Today, I made myself something for lunch. I’m feeling like big boy! (I turn 45 in a month, BTW)
The reason I’m celebrating these milestones is because I am recovering from an injury to my left shoulder (and am experiencing unprecedented pain) so I am a bit challenged in these “simple daily tasks”. The sense of accomplishment that I feel is inspiring- there’s so much more that I want to do.
What I became even more appreciative of during my lunch is the daily accomplishments, like these, of people who live with disabilities. I admire their fortitude.
Respect.
