Just as you adjust to your hatred of spicy foods or carsickness, they have adjusted to their disability.  It's okay to say "I heard that you wanted to buy a cat" or "Let's take a walk." It won't bother them. If they have not adjusted to their disability, they may be newly disabled, still be experimenting, or be experiencing depression. Just because someone "looks normal" does not mean that their disability isn't real or important.  Not all people who need disabled parking spaces use mobility devices. People can be depressed while appearing happy, chronically ill while appearing healthy, or autistic while being able to interact normally. Some disabled people behave differently.

Put smaller plants on shelves that can contain the entire plant safely – you don't want them to be knocked over easily.  Remember to only use indoor plants that are safe for kids and pets, if you have them. Some plants (like peace lilies, poinsettias, English ivy, and devil's ivy) can be poisonous when ingested. Consider getting a plant with a trailing vine that can hang off the side of the shelf for a nice decorative look. Plants can also stimulate memory and concentration skills, not to mention adding a lovely touch of color to your interior decorating.
