Feeling pain, giving in to the exhaustion, noticing the pink, plump buds outside my window. Slowly the pink and white hues unfurling. Birds stop to gaze upon the beauty. The joy the flowers bring, the simplicity of nature to bring me back to my center. Grounding in the isolation, to the contradictions of pleasure and pain, joy and uncertainty. #disabled #disabilityjoy #isolation #poetry #LongCovid

Today, I want to focus on #disabilityjoy The joy that comes from rocking my child while she snuggles against my shoulder. The joy I have witnessing birds playing in water. The joy of learning a new way of communicating. How important and challenging to quiet the mind, and use my body as a conduit to communicate to my child. #bodylanguage speaks so eloquently. #unlearningableism I am so grateful to have this moment to be present in all the struggles and joys. #signlanguage #aac #MedicallyFragile
