Hello 2020!

Hello

Just wanted to start the New Year with a blog post. You will start to see a lot more of me as I want to step up my blogging a lot this year.

2019 was an amazing year with lots of wonderful things achieved. To be honest I wasn't sure how the the rest of the year would go after leaving college. However I was totally surprised how much I was able to do and set up with help from my family.  I thought coming home from college would be strange for me but I was happy to be home and back into family and home life.

I know that every year can have their ups and downs and we can't make everything go our way, however we can make the best of whatever we have and be happy with what we have.  I am so happy with how 2019 went and I am excited to see if 2020 will be even better!

I am not setting any New Year resolutions but I just want the year to be filled with happiness, love and laughter. I do believe if these three things are a part of the year, we don't need much else to keep ourselves satisfied.  These are more important to me that having an unrealistic resolution that I forget about by the end of January.

My main outlook for 2020 is to carry on being as independent as I can and get stronger so I can do even more.  The main goal is to keep moving on everyday and treating it as a fresh new day to make it how you want it to be. It is a fresh start to change anything we aren't happy about. Going into a new year makes me think about what I need to do to make it even better than last year. I like going into a new year because it allows me to feel excited about what is to come in the upcoming year.

Well, I'm going to say hello to 2020 and wish everyone a Happy New Year

Abbie xx

Get Over Yourself ... We're Only Disabled! Part 1

  Get Over Yourself ... We're Only Disabled  Hey my lovely readers... Hope you are well. As some of you may know, I wrote a book a few years ago however, I couldn't get my head around getting it published so I thought long and hard about how to share it with you all. Therefore, I thought about sharing one chapter a week on my blog, so this week I will publish the "All About Me" and the first chapter.   This was written in 2018, so some of details may not correspond to what you know of me today. All about me: Abbie Smart Hi, my name is Abbie Smart.  I was diagnosed with quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy at the age of one, after I had a fit when I was born.  It was recognised because I wasn’t reaching my milestones, such as crawling, walking at all or talking as well as I should have been.  I am a wheelchair user and I use a walker.  I drive my own wheelchair and have done since I was 6 or 7 years old.  I attended mainstream primary and secondary school and have achieved 5 G

  A Year Of Adaptive CrossFit  Hi my lovely readers, I hope you are well.  I know I have done a blog like this before, but I realised that I have been attending my adaptive CrossFit class for a year now, so I thought about doing a blog post about how I am finding it.    I can't  believe it has been a year already, it has a gone so quickly, I have the best time in the sessions and achieved so much in a short space of time, it has been incredible.     Over the past year, I have loved going to the adapted classes, I have enjoyed meeting new people with a wide range of disabilities that have become very good friends. Also I have been able to become stronger in my workouts and been able to achieve things that I felt that it wouldn't have been possible, for example, trying out my friends Rollator. This was one my many highlights of the year ! All of the sessions has made me feel stronger and more mobile. It has helped me to branch out socially with people with a wide range of disabil

My Time With Whizz-Kidz

           My Time With Whizz-Kidz Hi, my lovely  readers, hope you are well.   After my 26th birthday, I moved on from a wonderful charity that  supports children and young people called  Whizz-Kidz, as  I  have grown out of their  age bracket.  However I couldn’t finish this amazing charity without writing a blog about how great my experience has been over the years and talk about the fantastic support I have been given over the years from the start, whether this is support with equipment or help with work placements.   I have absolutely loved working the staff and meeting lots of people with similar disabilities as me, as well as learning about different disabilities along the way.  When I think back on what I have achieved during my time at Whizz-Kidz, I think of the successful work placements which I did face-to-face or online via Zoom. Especially when we were in lockdown, Whizz-Kidz kept me very busy either with a work placement which I completed online, or with a intriguing club
