Don’t be afraid to make a mess you might learn a lot and have fun too – that’s what I keep learning 
It’s 2 : 44 PM on day 708 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, feed myself a boiled egg for breakfast, drink coffee by myself, publish my Disability of the Day feature, work, watch TV and listen to music – I still love Jesse McCartney‘s music years after I first heard him I can relate to his songs probably because we are close in age.
Today I was thirsty so I asked our housekeeper to get me some water in a glass she asked yes in a glass is fine I replied knowing how much harder it would be for me to drink from a glass as opposed to drinking from a coffee mug like I usually did my mom God bless her heart makes everything easier for me to do so that I don’t make a mess but what I don’t think she understands is that I learn to do things by making a mess and trying again just like I did today with the glass of water I spilled a little bit but I did it. Are you afraid of making a mess?
I LOVE hearing from you feel free to leave a comment below.

You are so right – sometimes we are so afraid of failing that we don’t try, and that way we really just shortchange ourselves. Keep on keeping on, Nisha!
I will thanks
I think I’m not afraid to fail because I know that failure is an event not a person – I will fail sometimes but I will never be a failure.
This one hit home for me.
Since my hands shake all
the time and when i go to
eat i drop allot of things
off the fork or spoon.
Our kids will ask if i want help
and i will tell them no. Some times
I think I send the wrong message
to them because I’ll tell them god
gave me 2 hands and 2 feet and I’m
going to use them.
I can so understand this post.
Hugs my friend
I’m sure your kids understand that you love them even when you don’t want their help
I’m glad you could relate to this post.
