"All but the strangest animal of them all." Referring to us humans. That line has always stuck in my mind and I find myself using it often, especially When I sit for a moment and watch humans mill around either mindlessly or with a goal. Watch people go any where and just watch and you also will see we are strange .<br /> Now as far a disabled, well my grandmother was physically handicapped (polio) and she was one of the smartest strongest person I have ever known on this plant. I never seen her want the world to change for her but instead she adapted (in her own way) to her world. On another note I am the person who parks away from everyone else so someone who might not be able to get around good can have that closer parking spot. I was the person in school that you had to get through me to touch or torment one of the mentally handicapped kids. I guess what I am saying is even though I have never had to deal with what others call a handicap I have always been aware of them and will put myself in a position so they can have abetter day. My Gran called it manners and responsibility. I call it trying to being a better human.<br /><br />I will leave you with a funny, a poem my mother wrote with me in first grade:<br /><br />In the fall I have a ball<br />The gang and I play football.<br /> We roll in the leaves that fall from the trees<br />and that what I love about fall. : DBitchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13853052900183561873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4941930385963521365.post-86413038007647164582014-02-18T11:14:10.553+00:002014-02-18T11:14:10.553+00:00Congratulations, Ken.
