Bones of Success

Bones of Sucess

“To succeed in life you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone, and a funny bone.”-Reba McEntire

As long as you have wishes for yourself and you are willing to stick up for yourself, without losing your sense of humor, you can have a successful life.
As a mother of a child with a disability, I have found this to be true. When I had my son, I had many wishes for him. I wished he would be healthy, happy, and do well in all the pursuits in his life. My wishes changed when he was diagnosed with autism. I know now that the wishes I had for him can still come true as long as I am willing to fight for what he is entitled to. I am doing this on a constant basis. I am using my backbone to fight for him to keep his Title XIX Waiver from the state. I do this with using my funnybone also. My little boy always finds a way to make me laugh and not get stressed or too serious. I also laugh at people who think they know more than I do about what is best for my son.

Reba McEntire has used her made her life successful by accomplishing her wish of becoming a singer. She used her backbone when she performed on an awards show shortly after a plane crash killed several band members. Her funny bone has made a lot of people laugh with her while they watch her sitcom "Reba".
