SPEAKING FOR MYSELF...

BY ALEX GORMAN
I am definitely the luckiest person on the face of the earth.  Each day we nonspeakers can easily choose to feel sorry for ourselves. But nothing really easy is ever as good, I believe.  To be happy is not an easy choice, but it's one I choose to make.  Easy things are what some gravitate towards...but not me. The best things in my life, and the people I love most, have either been the hardest or worked the hardest. And these things, the hardest, feel the best because they represent achievement.  This blog is about being lucky, working hard, achieving goals, and being what I've decided to be:  happy.

Wishes Come True

The 2024 passing is personally significant for me. Perhaps, for the first time in my life, questions about what I am capable of are being put to rest. This past year was 100% questionable to start…and 100% wonderful to finish. I am finally healthy; in college; having my bar mitzvah; and at M2H every day. I am where I should be. There are always things that can be better in anyone’s life but we can’t have everything, and so many dreams have come true for me that tonight, New Year’s eve, I feel only gratitude. Wishing that I weren’t disabled is pointless. Wishing that I could have a life of accomplishment and happiness is not only realistic, but an actuality. 


It is perhaps apt that I love to have the opportunity to express these thoughts. To talk is the greatest blessing of my life. To express this makes me the luckiest man on the face of the earth, to quote the great Lou Gehrig. 


Happy New Year, everyone, and may you find yourself as lucky as me this coming year.
