On the theme of being a broad'

Broad-minded mama, that is. I just heard part of a Talk of the Nation show about what it's like going through life in a wheelchair. Definitely a good change of perspective. And it links to the documentary that inspired the program which I have to remember to put in my Netflix queue (the film didn't seem to be listed there yet).

I've actually thought a fair amount during the past year about what it must be like to get around in a wheelchair. Whenever I get frustrated pushing the double stroller and getting dirty looks for taking up the whole sidewalk or the doorway of a store, I remind myself this is a temporary state and was a happy choice. For some people it's not that.
