The New Inspiration

Wasn't sure what to think about Fifty Five being the New anything and almost didn't write today but figured that would be too easy.  Gee...the attack of the work ethic at my tender age!  Who'da thunk?

Well, contrary to some grave misconceptions a lot of disabled people lead busy lives.  Even those who are bed bound.  In this age of computers, internet and techno-accessibility, folks who can barely bat an eye are able to get online and be in touch with the world.  I knew someone a few years back who went to college, even though confined to a bed 24/7 and limited to the movements of head, neck and face thanks to the computer technology.....AND a great big assist from several grants.

It took a bit of work to get it all set up, but their life went from devastation (the disability was due to a car accident) to fulfilled.  What we need is more of that...more opportunity, more options....there's nothing wrong with that.

So, what started out as being a potentially blank day has suddenly turned into one of inspiration, so for today Fifty Five will be just that...the New Inspiration, because as long as we can keep inspired we can keep the creative energy fired up!
