My Name is Deb not Disabled
Reblogged from Work the Dream:
Someone told me a long time ago that I needed to remember that I am not my diseases...yes I have diseases and I am disabled but that is not who I am. It is just what is wrong with my body. That is why I seldom mention "what" is wrong with me. For my name is Deb, not disabled and most certainly not any of the diseases I have.
Its EMPATHY not SYMPATHY!
Understand the difference, it will make a difference :)
