"He is Able Who Thinks He is Able" - Buddha

 When disability is a daily reality it's difficult to check your inner advocate and activist at the door and look beyond the stereotypical 'triumph over adversity' story. Perhaps we have just all become too jaded... 

 I'm told that for someone who's supposed to be up-to-date on all things disability, I'm behind on this one, but while reading this week's installment of THIS Magazine's ThisAbility Blog, I discovered where I'll be eating next time I'm looking for somewhere to have a special dinner.

I don't find myself being inspired by the stories of disabled people very often these days, but Pascal Ribreau is an exception.
