Wow, thank you. That was very flattering. I'm suffering from fatness of the head now :-)
I'm glad you enjoyed. I certainly enjoyed your review. Take care.

Re: Lovely Lady
You're such a kindhearted person. Your friends are very lucky -- couldn't ask for a better one. God bless.

This was very, very good. Many times when I read blogs, I look for the 'good part' to comment on. This entire post was filled with 'good parts'. I can't pick one or two or three or four or....you get the picture. I have always rooted for the underdog. I have some theories about that that I won't bore youwith. Okay, I implied that I wasn't going to comment on 'parts' but, I can't resist. I loved this: "Your consolation prize is being an understandable failure." And this: "those that aren't Them will gawk at you in their spare time, like they would a train wreck." And a whole lot of other parts. Did I mention that this is very well done? And that I was actually in a train wreck?

Melody,
You keep right on slaying those dragons, honey! I have Cerebral Palsy, and like you, certain people in my life didn't expect much from me while others expected too much. Also, there were friends who for some reason felt that I expected too much from them. It was never intentional, you have to understand, but looking back on certain things now, I can honestly say I now understand where they were coming from, whereas at the time I couldn't.
It's funny how being challenged in some way or other can sometimes lead us not to expect much of ourselves. I've been through this phase more than once, and I'm always shocked by what I learn from dragging myself through and out of it.
God sees us all as we truly are, good and bad, and He gives each and every one of us His unconditional, unending love.
Wouldn't the world be a lot better off if we could just for once learn from His example?
Stay beautiful, sunshine. You make me proud.
