I love to discover ways that people creatively make life better for themselves and others. Here are two that I just learned about:
Accessible Playgrounds
I just saw a wonderful photo that shows two children in wheelchairs happily playing on a swing swaying back and forth. Someone created a swing set with platforms that children in wheelchairs can roll and attach onto so they can be pushed by an adult or older child. Now they too can experience the joy of swinging! Creative kindness in action!
A Different Angle
The state of California has tried a variety of things to flag underage people who are trying to buy alcohol from harried grocery and liquor store clerks, but none appeared to work very well–until now. And what a simple solution it was! The driver’s licenses for underage people are now printed in portrait format versus the landscape format that everyone elses’ is. Both types of license remain the same size and shape but are now just read from an entirely new angle. Well done!

What a great idea with the driver licences, and it is about time there were some playgrounds for children in wheel chairs…………
Thank you for your feedback. I look forward to seeing what else creative minds come up with that help children with extraordinary physical and mental challenges experience more of the joys of childhood.
