[nabs-l] Living by NFB's Philosophy questions

[Gerardo Corripio]

Hi listers: this week something happened I'd like to share which brings me 
to some questions about trying to live via NFB's philosophy.
this week I had an appointment and unfortunately because of circumstances 
hard to explain depend on my parents to take me to places but an working on 
getting a driver hired to whom I can contact when wanting to go places. Is 
this what it means when you guys talk about drivers?
Anyway the weather outside was terrible! raining very hard thus my parents 
asked my oppinion on if I should cancel which when my parents told me that 
it was black outside and the weather didn't want to seem to clear I accepted 
but have had a nagging feeling that I should have done something more but 
can't put my finger on what! if I would have had a driver would I still have 
had to cancel? If I would have lived by NFB philosophy would I have reacted 
being stubborn and went anyway? because making things worse two hours later 
the weather began to clear! and I felt very (I don't know the word) 
impotence? I mean that lately when things happen and I may have a way to 
solve them I feel desperate like I want to do it but am afraid to go forth! 
I have lots of plans and ideas which I've kept to myself in all the things I 
can do but haven't had a chance to try! Is this the right path in getting to 
live via NFB Philosophy? Would I have resolved the situation better had I 
had the tools such as informed choice and other concepts I've learned in 
reading the Braille Monitor and on the list?
