Hello everybody! Happy Thanksgiving! I can't believe it's that time of year already! Our summer weather was so nice! Now, its starting to get colder! I had to wear mitts outside today. It's very disappointing when the weather starts to get colder. Nobody likes it! An up side to fall though, is when you get to watch all the different coloured leaves start falling on the ground. It's such a pretty sight. I think fall is going to be my new favorite season just because of all the preety nature I get to see..
Anyway, it will be just the four of us for thanksgiving this year, Mom, Dad, my sister Natie and me. My aunt and uncle are in Victoria visiting my cousin, and all the rest of my family is out of town, so it will be just the four of us. It will be nice though. My parents are both off work tomorrow, so were going to have a big turkey dinner. That will be fun We all have so much to be thankful for, so we should have a day where get to appreciate it all. Thanksgiving is the perfect time to do that.
Today, I am going to write a blog about my top eight favorite thing. There is a lot of things that I really like that make me happy. I'd thought I'd share them all with you.
1. My Favorite Past Time- I love spending time with my wonderful family. I love going for walks with my mom. I love going to Calgary to spend time with my grandparent's. I love spending time with my aunt that now lives in town. I just love being with family . We have a great time when we get together. We always think of fun things to do. We're all really close. It's great when the whole family is out for a extended period of time, like they were in the summer. We get to know each other again and reconnect. It's a lot of fun. Family is the one constant thing that everybody will always have in their lives. Family is what starts it all.
2. My Favorite thing that people say to me- I hate feeling like I am a burden on people. Being in a situation where I need extra help sometimes, it feels like everybody is always doing something for me, and I never get to do things for them. That's really hard sometimes. I don't like having to as for too much help, or special things. I'd rather be on the giving side than the receiving side. I get really happy, knowing that I made someone smile, or helped them feel better. I think everyone does. When people know how much they are appreciated, it makes them feel really good. Everybody needs to know when they have impacted someones life for the better. It makes them feel good inside, and the more they hear that kind of stuff, the more they will continue to help out, and make the world a better place.
3. My Favorite Way to Motivate People- I love to inspire people to have a different outlook on life. My favorite way to do that is probably by writing in this blog. I can be kind of quiet sometimes, and I don't always get my opinion out, so this blog has really helped me get my thoughts out there. My favorite thing about this blog is that I get to motivate people to not only get people to think differently about people with diversabilites, but also to get them thinking differently about their attitudes towards life as well .I don't always do my best at following my own suggestions, which I know is bad, but this blog helps me to do that as well. It helps me unravel the person I want to be in the future. Writing this blog helps me become better.
4. My Favorite Sport- I think you all know the answer to that question. It's skiing! I love skiing. I love going super fast down a hill. Skiing is such a big thrill for me. I don't get that sense of adrenaline very often, but I do when I'm racing down a ski hill. Sit skiing is special to a lot of people I know who have diversesabilities. Grace says she has never felt so free as she now does when she is skiing. Being able to ski when you have a diverseability is something that makes us all believe that anything ispossible. Like Josh Dueck calls his sit ski the freedom chair, because when he gets in it, he has no limits. He can ski anywhere they want. Sit skiing brings people the power that they thought they never had. I'm so excited for the sit ski program at Panorama to open up again. They're saying that we will have a few more skiers added to our group this year. I can't wait to get back up on the hill and shred some powder. I'm so excited. I'll be up there soon. For all my Invermere ski friends that are reading this, see you on the slopes.
5. My Favorite Place- My favorite place would p have to be Camp Winfield. I have been going there since I was six years old and have always loved it. This summer will be my last summer there, whitch will be quite sad. I have made so many great friends at Winfield and have gotten to do so many cool things. Everyone is happy at camp Winfield. They all feel like are just as capable as everyone else. I love Camp Winfield. It is a place where I get ti try new things, meet new friends, and be myself.
6. My Favorite Subject in School- My favorite subject in school has always been English. Ever since I was little I've loved stories. When I was little I either loved sitting on someones lap and getting read to, or making up my own story. As I got older, I began to write more and more. Sometimes I pretend I have my own series of books called "Kate the Great", where I make up little stories about my life. I've Co Authored a children's with Grace. I'm in a writing class now and that's helping me become a better writer. I get to practise writing with this blog. I'm writing more and more all the time. I think writing will be a part of my life for a long time. I definitely have a love for telling stories. I'm Kate the writer!
7. My Favorite Holiday- My favorite holiday would be Christmas. I love everything about
Christmas. I love it when Christmas carols start playing on the radio. I love it when all my family
comes out. I love waking up Christmas morning and seeing presents under the tree. I love it all. Christmas is such a magical time of year, especially for children. It's a time to believe in magic. It's a time to enjoy being a kid again. If there wasn't such thing as Christmas, we would forget what it's
like to be little again. We would get so caught up in our busy lives that we would no longer be
able to enjoy the little things. Christmas does many things for us. No wonder why people call it the
most wonderful time of the year.
8. My favorite thing to write about in this blog- I love it when I write funny things in my blog. I love being cheeky and sarcastic. I love being able to get a point across in a funny way. I do believe that laughter is the best medicine. It can cure anything better than a doctor could. I love being able to see the funny side of my Cerebral Palsy. This world would be a very boring place without a few jokes. Everyone should always keep laughing. It will always make you feel better when you laugh. I promise.
I have a lot of favorite things. I just like the little things in life that make you get so excited and happy. It's great when we cann look forward to experiencing our favorite things. Everyone has to have a favorite thing. You must have one. Whatever it is, I hope you get to experiece it soon.
Anyway, I wanted to wish everybody a Happy Thanksgiving and a great rest of the week, and I will talk to you soon. Bye for now
Your friend, Kate
