Feelin’ bueno

Hello Everyone!

I am in a good mood today. :) I just confirmed my attendance at this nice, formal luncheon that is held by the Dayle Mcintosh Center www.daylemc.org  this Friday….in recognition of me and my efforts with this website. :) Exciting stuff! I am being nominated for the “Apple of Our Eye”  Education award. It would be so cool to win! I’ll let you all know how it goes. :) I don’t feel the need to be rewarded for hosting this blog since it is something I love to do! I hope to keep this blog up for years to come, and maybe pass it off one day to a worthy TCPer! I hope that those of you who read about me and my life with CP, walk away with something. Maybe a new perspective on life, a new way to improve your body, mind, spirt ect. because even by just writing about my experiences, I feel so much more at peace with who I am. I feel like I am contributing something to the outside world..even if it’s something as small as how a hike I went on. Because maybe another kid my age can relate to me, or a young couple who struggle with their child who has CP can read about me and have a sense of hope, that everything will be ok. I love to write, and to be able to take what I love to do, and write about something that I live with everyday, is truly an eye-opening experience. I have learned so much about who I am as a person,  just by being honest myself…these past few months with the castings and all that, I have really tested my limits, and I know now that I can get through anything if I got through that rough patch. It’s a great feeling of satisfaction, and I hope that you all will feel that sense of self awareness sometime in your life.

Well I’m off to a nice dinner made by the mamcita. I hope you are all doing well in your lively endevours, feel free to email me about anything that is on your mind, anything you are going through…I’ll always be around!

Take care & Thanks for listening, Katy

How to deal

Cerebral Palsy Advice Blog

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!

-Katy
