Today my student teacher/volunteer at Rubicon Dance met me (as in, got the train from her house to mine!) at LMC to take me on the bus (two buses there,two buses back) to class, act as my carer there, and take me back to LMC, all for free (because LMC are short staffed and didn’t have anyone for today)! We had a fab time and lots of laughs, and I bought us both a Starbucks on the way to class, after we stopped there for me to use the mission impossible style keycoded loo, and she bought us lunch on the way home that we ate at mine after 😁. Lucy is an absolutely lovely person, really funny and terribly kind 💖 and really interesting; she’s an ex carer doing a PHD in clinical psychology about the effect of people getting mobility aids, working with mobility aid companies, and volunteers with Rubicon teaching Dance. New friend alert 🤩! Feeling very lucky to know such an incredibly kind person 💖 @rubicondance you’ve got some (aka A LOT) or truly fantastic people on your team 😁! My weekly dance classes are genuinely a highlight in my week, and are so important for maintaining my physical and mental health. For an hour a week I get to dance 💃🏻 with my friends 👭 to awesome tunes 🎶 and that hour has given me some confidence back in my body, and even kickstarted my journey of relearning to love and care for my body. But most importantly, it makes me happy, even during really terrible days and weeks when I’m in pain and poorly and my parents are poorly and... well, you get the picture! It makes me happy 😁. Thank you Lucy for making today possible; I’m so grateful! #blessedtoknowher #myfriendisamazing #ihavethebestdanceteacher #thursdaysaredancedays #wewentonanadventure #danceclass #dancemakesmehappy😊 #danceismedicine #grateful #peoplearewonderful #kindnesscostsnothingbutmeanseverything #todaywasagoodday (at Cardiff) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3LF2zRhW3D/?igshid=15yie6isyoped
