This morning, I finally managed to respond to three different posts from friends who have posted a response in connection to one of my blogs.
To those wonderful friends who have posted, thank you and I hope you’ll continue to post and to those who haven’t, I look forward …
Read on »It takes so much energy, so much effort and so much emotional strength to work on dealing with Cerebral Palsy. There are days when I just can’t seem to motivate myself. Today is one of those days. That’s the bad news.
The good news is that I will be back on the site tomorrow with renewed energy and enthusiasm.

For many years I carried way too much guilt for not having achieved in school. Perhaps it’s time to put the record straight. The more a Cerebral Palsy brain tries to concentrate, the slower the brain …
Read on »Do you ever get to the stage, where because you are so tired, you cannot think about what it is you need to think about? My mind is literally drawing blanks today.
I’ll be back on the site tomorrow, with a new blog after a good night’s sleep.
Read on »On the whole, I feel I do okay living with Cerebral Palsy. It’s not something I have accepted, but I manage and work around what I have to. Yesterday didn’t really seem to work like that. Walking around a department store for about 10 minutes looking for furniture, was enough for …

Read on »I’ve mentioned before that Cerebral Palsy brings with it so many emotions. For the most part I am normally focused, strong and determined to work through my issues, but not today. I’m struggling a bit. My leg is weak. I feel frustrated and angry.
