I honestly delight in knowing my positive outlook helps others. I am filled when others say “you give me perspective”.

It’s been crazy. Like I haven’t rested this week until my butt was in my bed by 10pm each night and up and at em at 7am each morning.This week I became another year older and I pray wiser. I was a lucky girl to celebrate that event with very important people in my life. …
This morning was a little different from the others. For starters I woke up to Oliver’s cute face. Oliver has been having a really hard time falling asleep in his new room and last night fatigue won out for me so when he came into our room and asked to cuddle I said “come here” …

A friend posted this link on facebook CLICK HERE and that friend isn’t even a special needs parent friend. Just a typical parent who has compassion for others and his ears sting as well when hearing the word retard in a negative way.I am not going to go all ape poo on the word and people …
I’ll be honest, it’s been a rough week. Lily has been having up to 8 good size seizures a day. And uncoutable little ones. Finding relief seems impossible and I had a mini breakdown. No worries, I have them quarterly. I have found the old bitter me pop up and like those gopher games I …
My heart quickens when I realize I am ready to post on this subject again. Well I already did post on it, just on wordpress to an audience of none.Linking it here changes things and makes my tummy flip flop.I first wrote this http://lilyannablu.blogspot.com/2011/01/2010-in-depthmetaphorically-of-course.htmlAnd then this http://lilyannablu.blogspot.com/2011/06/to-share-or-not-to-share_23.htmlThen I never said another word.
