People often complain they have so much to do and so little time. Yet they make time for updating their
statuses on social media or cruising the internet all day. With time moving ahead, as it’s always been,
people need to be prepared and readily able to do so as well.
Since retiring from teaching in 2014, I have become more intentional, more purposeful and more diligent
with accomplishing tasks in my daily life. Budgeting, planning, preparing, and balancing finances/life
events is work. A job like no other.I get the chance to reorder, balance and create transitions for my own
life.
Living as a person with a disability is not easy, but I’ve managed to achieve great things. I can attribute
much of my determination as being raised by a good mother and also having a spiritual god mother, who
both, are strong, beautiful black women. I learned to pace myself, compete and stand on my own merit.
So don’t give up. Plan ahead and keep pushing forward.
