 Hot tip if you ever find yourself disabled. Be prepared to learn how to enjoy yourself in a variety of different circumstances. Right now, I'm on a road trip across the country. I've made to the coast, the beach is right there. I just wanna walk and I just wanna go see it, but my leg feels terrible today. I've been doing a lot of walking, a lot of hiking, and there is pain if I put that leg on, which on the one hand sucks. It's what I'm here for. But on the other hand, I have learned in my years of being an amputee that it's really important to learn how to make the most of whatever day you find yourself in. Thinking ahead for such a day as this, I had brought my art supplies, I brought my iPad because I'm taking a course and learning something new right now. I have my journal and my favorite tea to sit and kind of write. And none of this is to say, don't have emotions about the things you can't do because sometimes it's a bummer. But in that process, there's also a way to capitalize on the things you still do have, like the ability to sit inside, seeing the beach outside and draw a pretty picture. Adapting is the name of the game when you are dealing with a disability.
