365 PAGES

In a few days, 2024 will be a memory. We will write on the last page of our book of 2024 on December 31st closing that book and those chapters of another year of our lives. 

Are you happy with your book from 2024? Are there things you wish you'd done differently? What was your proudest moment from 2024? What 

made you smile? What are your hopes and dreams for the coming year?

 

My milestone moments of 2024 were:

I lived with male housemates and their staff for eight months.

I moved to a new city.

I was given new staff.

I was hired by this agency to share my story through my writing and teaching.

Some of these milestones were scary, and some I could have handled better. However, the most important lesson in all of these milestones is that I survived. I'm here. I am strong. I am ready to close my 2024 book.

2025 will begin with me having a third blood test. (The third time is the charm.) A few months into the new year I will have my cataracts removed. I am nervous. People have told me it's a breeze.

I plan to make TikTok videos about my CP. My voice is not that great, but I am going to give it a try.

 

I am concerned about this country's elderly population. I plan on traveling to Jefferson City to watch Missouri legislators in action. I plan to discuss the plight of nursing home residents who face substandard care due to understaffing. Insurance companies that deny a person's medication deeming the medication too costly causing an individual a medical emergency.  I need to use my voice!

I became a Chiefs football fan in 2023, but my fandom took off in 2024.  Did you feel the Earth shift? Never in a million years did I envision that happening. I follow the Eagles too,

I still hope to meet the greatest telenovela actor of all time. I know I should give up hope.  A person should have one crazy dream, don't you agree?

I wish you all health and happiness in 2025.

January 1, 2025. A new book with 365 blank pages.  

Keep pushing through.
