IT'S AMAZING WHAT I CAN DO WHEN NO1 IS THERE 2 FALL BACK ON! OFTEN I FAIL, BUT W/EACH DAY, I GET STRONGER, SMARTER ABOUT MY CAPABILITIES, & MORE CREATIVE!

LAST WED., I WAS TRYING 2 REACH REAL FAR 2 GET A REMOTE, 4 THE TV, OFF MY BED. I GOT IT, BUT TILTED SO FAR TO THE RT., I WAS FALLING, YET STUCK THERE. THIS ISN'T NEW. ONCE, I TRIED 2 THROW TRASH AWAY (MARK WAS UPSTAIRS & I WAS DOWNSTAIRS) & I TILTED LIKE THIS (USUALLY, I FEEL IT HAPPENING & STOP, BUT I WAS PUSHING MY LUCK THIS TIME)—I HAD 2 FINALLY STOP TRYING 2 SIT MYSELF UPRIGHT & RESIGN 2 SOMEHOW REACH MY WIRELESS DOORBELL 2 RING MARK 4 HELP. BUT WED. I PUT THE REMOTE ON MY LAP & SAT MYSELF BACK UPRIGHT! THIS WAS ESP. AMAZING BECAUSE I WAS SITTING 2 FAR 2 THE LT. BUT FOUGHT THE NATURAL INCLINATION THAT CAUSES ME 2 FALL 2 MY RT.!

AFTER THAT, I HAD A PERSONAL VICTORY! I'M CONSTANTLY BENDING OVER 2 GET STUFF FROM THE FLOOR, EVEN THOUGH IT'S ABSURD—I'VE NEVER BEEN FLEXIBLE ENOUGH 2 REACH MUCH PAST MY FEET! BESIDES, IF I REACH IT, CAN I LIFT IT, WHEN A 1 POUND WEIGHT IS TOUGH?!? WED., MY REMOTE DROPPED ONTO MY FOOTREST. I COULD REACH SINCE I HAVE NEW TRICKS 2 BEND OVER (SOME WOULD ARGUE I "CHEAT"), BUT I WONDERED IF I WAS I STRONG ENOUGH 2 PICK IT UP? I WAS!

THURS., DESPITE DISLIKING OUTDOORS,I WAS DESPERATELY TRYING 2 C JESS PLAY SOFTBALL (REME,BER ABOUT MY EYES:I HAVE NO CLUE WHY, BUT IT'S HARD 2 DIFFERENTIATE GROUPS. 4 EX., ZACH LOVES LUBY'S (CAFETERIA STYLE FOOD). I CAN ONLY PICK OUT WHAT I WANT IF I'M TOLD WHAT'S THERE/) FIA WAS ON MY LAP, & BUMPED MY SUNGLASSES. IN TRYING 2 FIX THEM, THEY FELL OFF, BUT R VITAL 2 OPENING MY EYES IN NATURAL LIGHT. I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES W/NO LUCK—CHEAP SUNGLASSES DON'T STAY OPEN. I SUCCOMENDED 4 HELP, BUT HELP WAS BUSY, SO I TRIED SEVERAL MORE TIMES, & FINALLY GOT MY SUNGLASSES ON ALONE!

HUMAN NATURE IS 2 HELP SOME1 LIKE ME. OTHERWISE WE MAY MAKE AWFUL SOUNDS & FACES TRYING. BUT IT'S VITAL 2 TRY, EVEN IF WE R SLOW &/OR FAIL. RATHER THAN JUST GIVE HELP OR DO IT BECAUSE U R OBVIOUSLY FASTER, I KNOW I SOMETIMES LIKE 2 TRY & THEN HAVE AN OFFER &/OR BE ASKEDIF I WANT 2 HAVE HAVE HELP.
