Toes in the Sand

I want to wish all my readers a wonderful Wednesday. for this week’s post, I decided to share an excerpt from my first publication Confessions From Disability  Limbo  Available exclusively on Amazon Please enjoy see you next Wednesday. I welcome all comments Good and bad.

There is a question that every person with a disability gets asked a few times in their life. “What would you do if you had an entire day without your disability?” The first thing I would do is get up as early as possible because I know I would need every minute. I would stand up and use the bathroom all by myself. It always felt a little emasculating to pee sitting down to be perfectly honest. Then I would get dressed and find a baseball glove and throw some pitches on the mound. I have no interest in batting. Just let me throw the ball, to get rid of all of my frustrations. Next, I would get in the car and listen to whatever music I wanted, because no one could change stations but me. I would drive to as many friends as I could just to give them hugs. Something that no one realizes is because I’m sitting down, I’ve never actually hugged someone. I always have to wait till they give me one. Make a quick stop at the beach next, just to feel the sand on my toes. 

The last thing I would do is get all dressed up and go dancing. This is what I want most of all. I would find the prettiest girl on the dance floor and dip her just like they do in old movies. I know what you’re thinking. “You could go dancing now.” I have taken my wheelchair out on the dance floor many times. But I want to go to a club and dance all night. Even though I have tons of wonderful staff and Friends I have nobody to go to stay out all night with and just dance. I would dance until the last minute until I fell because the 24 hours had expired. Then I would get back to my chair with a gigantic smile on my face.
