Future Plans

I have an ambitious goal to write something on here every day in the month of January.  It may not always be well thought out and edited, and it may not be long - but it'll be something.

I have slacked off on posting here for a couple of reasons.  I have less time for it now that I am working, for one thing.  The other thing is, I feel more self-consious of what I put out here, and much more aware of how public a forum it is for all this personal information.  The original idea was to reach as many as possible so I have no one to blame and shouldn't complain.  But suddenly I'm extra aware of the fact that I really have no idea or control over who is reading this.

But I think it's important to keep this going as a platform for special needs and disability information, as much as I have time for.  Because once in awhile I'll receive an email or a comment from someone who appreciates my candor and honesty and who has been comforted and educated by this blog.  Those notes make my day, every single time.

And I frequently see articles and comments in the media that are damaging, misleading, unnecessarily derogatory, or just plain wrong, and I need to try to set those things right, too.  For my own boys and for anyone with any sort of disability who just wants to be valued as a person.
