March is Brain Injury Awareness Month..

While I appreciate your comments to my posts, I would ask firstly that they pertain to topic and are not spam in nature. Thanks!

All can say is wear your helmet if riding bike. Also before talking about someone with a mental disability within ear shot of them that you are being rude and would you want the same treatment about your shortcomings?! Yes we all have them. Remember you too can get this injury. Also 1 in 4 people will have a mental illness at some point in their lives. ex. a death of a parent and one gets very down leading to depression beyond the average grief process,if there is such a thing. Remember people with mental challenges whether it be ADD,autism,mental illness,head injury,brain tumor,brain aneurism,etc. deserve the same respect you would give someone with physical illness because it is. Many with mental illness are so because of chemical imbalance in brain making them depressed. When down don't want to do                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    much.

Brain Injury and YOU!


my article post on 'Open Salon', a writer's blog network, on brain injury, 'Brain Injury & You!'was one of the editor's picks, today! I was happy about this recognition of my writing and was glad I could share my own personal experience with brain injury as a survivor to raise awareness.

Perhaps, this small gift today was what I needed as my life has been less than ok lately to be honest here if i may! I guess I could use some good news. Why? Well..I am going through a bit of sleep deprivation lately as two of my 4 cats have been fighting at night, keeping me up. Then my other cat regardless gets me up at 6AM sharp by crying from the next room and if I don't get up, he begins to scratch the furniture like a bratty kid! he knows better guys. I honestly think he does it intentionally. Anyway, I yell both at night and in he morning and in the day these days at these animals and my dog is the 'Peaace Pal' of the house so she gets up barking when she hears the hissing as she has a zero tolerance for b.s. and fighting. I am thinking of leaving them all here and booking a flight to some where. Only one problem, I'm broke! This makes me think of a post for another day on my pet blog'Animals LARGE and small'"What to do when YOUR PETS take over your house!". When i figure it out I'll let you know. Til then I have one of my cats, 'the offender', in the back room for the second time today! He is the new cat who chases my 'shy' but hissy one into another room when she hisses at him and then they fight.

All these different personalities living under one roof is beginning to grate on my nerves. More to share another day. Don't worry guys. i'll be ok. i'm strong. Show me some love. You know what to do! (hint) drop,comment,email,trade links,give me somehing to review,or buy something! thanks!
