ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on forward resources clarifying what is mean by the everyday as situated and ongoing. This implies showing everyday participation through empirical examples of a complicated and intricate practice that is situated, emergent and negotiated. The chapter addresses participation as emerging and ongoing, implying that the everyday resources are made available to individuals through their experiences, actions and/or intentions. The everyday is the ordinary, mundane things and activities that people do throughout their waking hours. The concepts of everyday life and everyday activities are rarely defined in the literature, but the terms are often used interchangeably, and the chapter compress these two terms into 'the everyday'. The chapter provides stories from Liv's everyday life. It identifies two challenging and in many ways contradictory negotiations: first, participation as intent; and second, participation in ongoing, everyday practice, activities, which include her planning for participation, both socially and in practical matters.
