Called On The Carpet

            I know I already posted today but something just happened to me that made me want to post. I heard a story about a young boy with muscular dystrophy by the name of Mattie Stepanek. His courage and positive attitude has called me out. In the last few years I hit a rough patch and have let myself get stuck in a rut. I really have not achieved the potential I have inside of me. The quote that has made me come to that conclusion is this "choose to inhale do not breath simply to exist." Those are some strong words said by a strong spirit. They along with some pushing from my sweet girl made me realize their are many things in my life I need to change but I will grow and improve this is one of the reasons for this blog so thank you to those of you that read this it really helps me see who I really am. To that sweet boy who said those words and has since passed you inspire me.

A Trip To The Mall

             So I went to the mall the other with my girlfriend Lela we were helping a friend with a prank. I had my chair with me because my legs just cant handle long distances. we were just going around picking stuff up until I got an idea. I have gotten used to the looks people give me so I wanted to take advantage of said looks. I got out of my chair and had Lela get in while I pushed her around. The looks we got where hysterical.  People were trying to figure that one out. Then we really got them in the middle of the store we were in Lela got up and switch places with me she started pushing me. Man I love that Lela has a sense of humor she makes it easier for me to laugh at difficult situations.

It's an Everyday Trip to Wallmart I Guess

         As I said in my earlier post i will be using this blog to vent and nothing bugs me more then a trip to Wallmart. I know these trips are annoying to everybody the lines, the rude people ect. but imagine if you will dealing with said situations when you have something that makes you an obvious target. rolling around the store is difficult enough but when people are staring it makes me self conscience. I had a bad day after one of said trips so rude people said some insulting things, now most of the time I can  handle that but like i said it was a bad day. I called my girlfriend and vented to her and she said just the right thing to me. it is nice to know when the crap hits the fan i have someone to count on. I love that girl.
