Esther is a blind lady that I met at Laidley Gym last Thursday, and as we were both using rowing machines I told her that I had cerebral palsy and she jokingly said that she had the body and I had the eyes.

I didn’t say anything to that but I wasn’t offended. But soon after Esther had said that the personal trainer that I have most of the time told Esther that I do have a body, and he also told her that I have big biceps.

Esther then told me that disabilities is an ability, and I have to agree because even though we have our limitations, we also have some abilities. I also think that I have seen Esther in the library with her guide dog, when I do my volunteer work but when I saw her in the gym that was the first time I spoke to her.
