Well worth your time

October 15, 2010 By Mindy

15 Oct

I missed the last two days.  It's been a madhouse here.  Doug has been in Winnipeg most of the week (on his way home right now), and blogging is the thing to take a hit when I'm kid-wrangling on my own.

I don't have much to say about anything, like usual.  Instead, I'm going to give you these two links.  Read them.  They are well worth your time. 

This man is local.  He's a sportswriter for the Cincinnati Enquirer.  He has a daughter with Down syndrome.  He gets it in so many ways.  Of everything he's written about his daughter and Down syndrome, I have never disagreed, never shook my head and thought, "Dude, you're wrong about that." 

Expect. Don't accept. 

Never say never.

These are things that I try to live by when raising this kid of mine.  I think it's the key to success.  I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking this way.

    what a wonderful way with words… ‘The clarity of life’s beauty is more evident when the struggle for that beauty is more difficult.’ beautiful… and true
