Thanksgiving

This week there was a major car accident involving a school bus. Some of the injured children had limbs amputated. It impacted me greatly as I recalled how in November how I was 8 hours away from having my leg amputated.

My leg has significant scars but I still have it and it still functions. The hospital that misdiagnosed my leg is still investigating how they could have got it so wrong. Instead of anger at their error I am striving to be grateful for the doctors that got it right and saved my leg and my life.

What are you grateful for today?

Hello Everyone! It's #Thanksgiving week. I wanted to wish you a happy holiday. Whether you are spending it with #Family or a #friend or a #Furbaby you are never #alone . I think sometimes this time of year is a kick off for some of the most difficult things to face. This means #lonely for some #Grief for others and many more #Emotions .

I want to let you know that whatever you're facing... You're not #alone .

I am here for you.

#BarneyShow was a show I never watched as a kid, but would make fun of with my friends. In the spirit of #Thanksgiving time, I found this too funny to not share. This is the story of how Barney died. LOL

This was a YouTube clip I found online, and I snapped a photo of it. It made me laugh. If you get a chance to see the high winds and know why on a windy day they keep them really low, or not have them at all? This is why.

I have never felt so uncomfortable in my own home. My mother in law comes over and takes over my kitchen. I try to help but it’s seems like I’m annoying her. She can be sarcastic and, self deprecating . She asks me odd questions about race, which I then have to be an ambassador for black people. This makes me so uncomfortable. I started drinking in the morning to numb myself , when that didn’t work I took a few Xanax. I was hoping to pass out. #Holiday #Stress #Family #Motherinlaw

A lovely day with my daughter- we walked the Sundial Bridge- so cool!
