Weekly Theme: Week of 10/29 to 11/04/2017

The Theme for this Week is Disability.  So what does Disability mean?  In my opinion, to understand this, we need to break it down:  Dis, followed by Ability.  So what does Google say about the prefix, Dis?  "a Latin prefix meaning 'apart' 'asunder,' 'away,' 'utterly,' or having a privative, negative, or reversing force".  Now, how about Ability?  I will, this time, take Google's 2nd definition:  "talent, skill, or proficiency in a particular area".  So, if we put these two together, we get something  *far*  above what most people think of, with the word, Disability.  And I like this, because it includes Learning Disabilities and some of the usual "slowing down", that occurs, as we grow older.
