Twenty years ago a car came into our lane and nearly
killed me and injured my daughter. Twenty years ago is when the
Traumatic Brain Injury came to stay. I am still making breakthroughs. I
am still putting one foot in front of the other and kickin' butt along
the way. And it feels grrrreat!!!!!!!!!
This day almost came and went without me even thinking about it. Twenty years.
Without
realizing it I did wind up celebrating life all day. I thought about
something really cool and shared it with my cousins and my sister/friend
and shared it with my daughter and wrote and this afternoon I painted
at the library and I had a food
coupon for a free sandwich so I had that for dinner. My niece bought
me some wine at a garage sale and all that time I still didn't realize
what day it was. And when I did I thought I should celebrate. I called
Portillo's and asked them how much a piece of chocolate cake was,
including tax. I had enough change to get a piece and that is exactly
what I did. This is a big day that I was never supposed to see. And I
enjoyed seeing it all day. Pretty cool.
I enjoy bringing together music, writings and research about topics that I find interesting. I like to share images of my artwork and write about what inspires me. Telling stories about Coco, my Akita Service Dog is one of my favorite things to do. And now and then, I write about what it is like to go through life with a Traumatic Brain Injury and PTSD. These are the breadcrumbs that lead me back to a frame of mind or concept that would otherwise be forgotten.
