Life Goes On

When I first started this blog I wanted it to be a chronicle of what it was like living as a person with dwarfism. I wanted to get my voice out there so that the general public would be educated and that if a parent with a newborn diagnosed with a dwarfing condition stumbled across this little place in cyberspace they would read about someone who was living a normal life, that this diagnosis is not a terrible thing and their beloved baby had every hope of having a great life.

But I've found I don't really talk about my dwarfism much. I just talk about daily life, my journey towards mental and physical wellness, the thoughts I think, the observations I make, my hopes and wishes and dreams.

It was then that I realised that this IS life with dwarfism. It's just life...and hopefully it's showing everyone who comes here that life for me, for us, is not different, or strange, or terrible, or magical. We don't live in little houses and sleep in little beds (believe me, I had a person in my life who actually thought that!). We're not relegated to jobs that entail making people laugh by making fools of ourselves (although I know of people with dwarfism who make a living of doing just that....but then again, I know average statured people who do the same thing too!). My life is actually pretty ordinary every day, but I choose to see the magical in the ordinary - the precious moments that make life worth living for everyone that transcends whatever human condition we may have been blessed with.

So, I'm handing this over to you, the reader. What do YOU want to know about? Are there questions you have for me? And my personal philosophy is that there is NO SUCH THING AS A SILLY QUESTION, so ask away!
