[nabs-l] access paratransit services

[Carly Mihalakis]

Good evening, Jen,

         Thank you for expressing Sentiments about how, particularly 
Ol'Sighty has framed most of us as super blinks, capable of 
everything, sometimes more. About 10 years ago, after losing both 
seeing organs to baby cancer, I became brain damaged thus, losing 
many of the capacities on which I always depended. Such Diminished 
capacities, however, have indeed effected my own experience in a 
positive way, rendering me more patient, accepting  of that which I 
am powerless to effect, even when it comes to having a hand in 
shaping my own destiny.
Car




or both and that's not true...we all have our strengths and weaknesses.
