If life has taught me anything over the past ten years it is to roll with the punches. I've been on a roller coaster ride that has hit some super high peaks, hurtled downward faster than I could have imagined and taken me places I never would have imagined. But I have come through stronger because of these experiences and that is why "Rolling with Life's Punches" seems like the perfect title and description for this blog.
It also seems like a good name given that I roll through pretty much all of life. As a wheelchair user rolling is what I do and going through life on wheels will definitely expose you to some adversity! Flexibility and adaptability are essential qualities to navigating life on wheels when most of the world isn't set up with accessibility in mind. On pretty much a daily basis I find myself rolling with the punches that life throws my way and that's what you'll be reading about on this blog (should you choose to read past this first post!).
Hopefully reading about some of the experiences I face will give you a new perspective on what it is like to live in a world that wasn't designed with you in mind. Be prepared to learn what it's like to roll with life's punches!
