> How does it feel to be 36 years young?  Let me count the ways:
>
> As someone who is visually-impairec, I have never, nor will I ever,
> hate/hated being blind.  I have always been proud of it.  I have never
> believed that my blindness is, or was, a curse.  I believe that it is a
> blessing.
>
> I have always believed in having a playful personality, but in my early
> life, this was extremely hard to come by.  I learned to be patient, kind,
> and appreciative.  I learned to accept help when I need it, and respond
> with a "no" or "no, thank you," when I don't need it.
>
> I've learned to advocate, legislate, andfollow up.
>
> The past 35 years have been a resolve not to take negativity seriously,
> but to take positivity as it comes.
>
> I see myself as a person still learning, and still growing.  I see myself
> only taking the bitter with the sweet.
>
> I love God; I love life; I love you.  All of you have been very inspiring
> to me!  Thank you; thank you!  To my friends on Facebook, to my friends in
> the groups, thank you.
>
> To my Federation friends reading this message: Thank you.

> On March 21, 2010, Eric Calhoun begins his next 35 years on this earth.
