Robert and I love to watch “The Little Couple” on TLC. Last night we watched it and the way that Bill and Jen deal with adversity is inspiring. This is nothing new to me as we had watched it before but, silly me did not see their stature as a disability. Not that it isn’t, just that it had not occurred to me until a few episodes back. I know they have challenges, I had just seen them as a regular couple.
That is exactly it. They do not let anything stand in their way and they are a regular couple. I love that about them! I also love how the hospital where Jen works (she is a doctor, in case people reading haven’t seen the show) accommodates her needs with such ease. That is how the Americans with Disabilities Act is supposed to work.
This is important for me to mention because too often I come across people who are disabled and feel sorry for themselves because of the obstacles they face. I know that in comparison to Jen and Bill, I have different obstacles but, I could never feel sorry for myself or my situation. I lead a very blessed life and am grateful for everything I have, even my disability….it is part of the fabric that makes me the person I am.
What unique qualities shape your personality?
Thanks for reading…
