This is an annoncement to myself as well- I'm on disability because I'm disabled!
This lets me let go of so much that I don't need and isn't helpfull. . .I don't need more than I have- I don't need to own property and a house again. I'm in a lovely little rented house that I would hate to leave if I was gifted a mansion free and clear! Its charming and warm with good nieghbors on a tree lined street where every modest little house is neatly kept and the little gardens are tended with flowers. Property I don;t need to own- I have a little part-time job thats in a park on 3000 acres of forrest with deer and birds and fish in the streams and pond. I don't need to hold on to the second job just to make a little more money because it doesnt make me more happy and takes too much time out of my time here at home with my husband and daughter.
So I'm disabled- so its a mental disability- I don't care who knows I'm too old to play hide and seek with my reality- my disability was hard earned and I came by it honestly and there are people who I can let take care of me . I'm not too proud to say I need help because I have this disability. I also have the ability to make art and to write and to love and laugh and so I'm as wealthy as Ill ever be right now. My kids can inherit that from me- a smiling peacefull mother- not her possessions. They will travel lighter and farther with that than anything that needs dusting and mowing.
