Um, and this is a month where we get to say it's a lot of work to do that and I deserve this rest, right?

I deserve the time and the break from doing all of that work and I deserve the right to just be me, right?

And not have to worry about all those other components for the month and to celebrate being me and all the other people who are like us in the disability community.

Right.

Yeah.

So I really think that, you know, taking the time to think about that greater community, right?

And thinking about our

Part in that greater community um really allows us to pick up some numbers.

And so I really like being a part of that greater community and making sure that I take the time out to acknowledge that we are all part of this disability community, even though parts of the year we all kind of separate out into whatever our particular area.

I think being disabled is actually

A really innovative way to live.

Um, and I know that sounds crazy, but we are really resilient people and we have to figure out how to make a world that's not built for us work for us.

And that means really being able to think creatively and think on the fly and you know manage a lot of different um scenarios that other people don't have to think about on a regular basis.

And so there's a way, you know, just having a disability is a way of living that's different.

Um, from the way that other people live.

And it's also okay to just take a break from that and let everyone else carry that load for a little bit.

so it I mean, because I do I really want people to feel like, you know, there's no shame in rest.

It's a necessity, right?

And the rest of us will carry the load while you take your rest, right?

Um, it doesn't mean that you stopped caring or that it stopped mattering to you or that it's any less important, right?
