Hey Guys…It’s Monday!
Monday’s always seem kind of motivating to me, it’s a fresh start to a new week! I always try to say I am going to stretch a little more, or do something to improve from last week. Hopefully I can keep my promise by the end of the week! I am also trying to cherish these last few weeks of summer until school, hopefully it won’t fly by! I think that is something we all should try to do… if you don’t do PT or stretching already, try to add it into your daily routine, it’ll only help you! You can ask me for some stretching exercises if you need a little refresher! I mostly have to stretch my calf muscle and ankle.
What have you all got going on for the rest of the summer? Have you been on any exciting trips or experience any breakthroughs on how to better deal with your CP? I would love to hear about how other’s see their disability because I feel like I am pretty optimistic, with the occasional downfall in certain situations, mostly social ones. I don’t always feel as confident as I can be. I have also learned that people don’t always even notice that I have CP sometimes! For instance, a lot of the time in soccer, people just think I am hurt ask me if I am ok… and I’ll just be say “I’m fine but thanks for asking..” Even some new friends won’t notice until I bring it up, so that makes me feel better about myself; like that isn’t the only thing that people pay attention to about me.
Well I think that is about it for today! Please feel free to comment, share your stories, worries, or questions by emailing me on the new contact page to the right, or commenting on any of the posts.
Stay happy and healthy, and have a great week!

Hi Katy! I have CP as well. I can’t believe that the summer has gone by so fast, I have nine days till I move to my college campus. I am also very optomistic about my CP. Most people don’t notice my CP at all. I’ve had a lot of people ask me if I broke my leg or my hand. if they bring it up I tell them, but otherwise I keep it to myself. I don’t see myself as having a disability at all, just a challenge that I have to deal with.
