There Was a Time

Equal opportunity seldom 

equates to equal capabilities 

in some minds. In the last 

few days, writing about 

epilepsy, scoliosis, and my 

career in nursing, I know that 

there was a time when such 

chronic conditions and a 

career were never in the same 

sentence. Never even hoped for. Merely stay at home, stay 

quiet and read. It may only have been 

a wisp of a dream. But as society 

changed, so did the rigid policies 

of the day. And they can return to 

such a past. For any of us who 

have diverse minds or bodies to 

develop, I hope we keep moving 

forward. ~ p.s.: it so happens that 

besides my career and my activities, 

I enjoy staying at home for maybe 

a day, maybe two in the cold winter, 

in the quiet while reading a mystery 

novel and I do love a good walk in 

the snow! In the meantime, I will 

keep on living life’s opportunities
