loves it

i appreciate how kind and helpful most people are when they see me limping their way. some rush to open doors, others ask if i need help to which i often reply with a smile and polite, “i’m fine thanks.” few don’t take no for an answer and proceed to carry my bags as i grocery shop [which just made me shorten my trip because i feel like an inconvenience. yeah you can shake your head at me, i am doing the same]. i am always greatful for the kindness of others, i honestly feel beyond spoiled at times that i find myself getting peeved at a passerby who didn’t think to hold the door [there is no way you didn’t see or hear be coming behind you] or offer their assistance when they see me struggling.

and there is work. see at work the same things often happens but the problem there is what if part of my job is to open the door for you, deliever a package/message to you, make coffee or just be on my feet for longer than 2 seconds? i know i am perfectably capabale of doing all those things, crutches and all but you just being a kind human being sympathize with me and apologize for aking me to my job. please don’t apologize, though i can be beyond stubborn if there is something i cannot physically do, i will not do it.

when i was turned away from a temp assignment due to my crutches, i was told it was for liability reasons. to be honest i call bull on that excuse and believe it’s because they couldn’t see me doing the job. can i blame them? greeting clients and then leading them down the hall to an office on crutches. i can hear their responses now, “oh i am sorry to make you get up.” you didn’t make me do anything [lol]. it’s my job. though it is technically illegal to not hire someone for a job purely due to a disability, it just has me thinking about the numerous interviews i have been on has that been a factor? i want to believe it does not but in the back of my mind i wonder.

my favorite crutch question: “when are going to be off them?”

my answer: “i wish i knew,” with a big smile to let them know i am ok so they don’t feel too sorry for me

yep I’m gonna have lots of fun with the new do! 😉

worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, it empties today of its strength . God knows what you need, so you do not need to worry about it #theword #mycor #godisgood #sunday

*gasp* it was exactly a year ago today I fell and fractured my knee while in the frame. back at the scene of the crime & survived it without a fall. success! p.s. God bless those high school boys who asked to pray healing over my leg at rio movie theater. i wasn’t that bold with my faith at their age, not sure if i even am now (at Guapo’s Cantina Restaurant)

what is that they say? the bigger the hair, the closer to God 😁 we’re definitely communing. #bighairdontcare
