About me

Location Indiana, United States
Introduction "A man can stand anything except a succession of ordinary days." What was true for Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is true for this gal, too. While one may consider my life pretty far from normal, given both the perks and difficulties involved with my spinal muscular atrophy, I decided to start this blog to share the extraordinary activities I hope to do one day. So spectacular are these plans that they border on the impossible. But, they provide hope, and that makes ordinary days a bit more bearable.
