The morning struggle is very real. Why can’t responsibilities just disappear. Resting in my comfy bed is more than ideal. There’s tons of paperwork on my desk. There’s always another email to check. This place is far from picturesque. I wish everything could be more simple. Could all the boring and bad just fizzle? Can’tContinue reading “Monday Reflections: A case of the Mondays”

Monday Reflections: Lingering Monster
A fun-filled night out with friends. A few good smiles and laughs. Some heartbreaking news. Some sorrow-filled tears. Whatever the reason. Whatever the cause. The memories still haunt. The monster still lingers. ——————————————————————————————————————————— I’ve been seizure free for 15 months now. It’s a length of time that I thought I would never see again, butContinue reading “Monday Reflections: Lingering Monster”
Monday Reflections: One in twenty-six
Twenty-six people living ordinary lives. Some learning to walk for the very first time. Others with wrinkles around their eyes. All filled with dreams waiting to be realized. Then, one of those twenty-six is caught off guard. Their greens turned red. Their ups turned upside down. Their life taken away by a silent, electrical terrorist.Continue reading “Monday Reflections: One in twenty-six”
Monday Reflections: Music is all we need.
Doop doop doop du doop Swoosh swoosh swoosh… zing! La la la la di di daaaa Plink plunk plink plunk Snap Snap Snap … Boom! Oooo Ooooo Oooooo It doesn’t matter what melodies you listen to. Music can make you laugh, smile and even cry. Just listen to whatever feels right.
Life is but a waterfall
Sometimes there are no words to describe your thoughts because they are a jumbled up mess. Sometimes curve balls get thrown your way, and you can’t dodge them. Sometimes you feel so lost that there is no way of finding your way back. Then, from out of nowhere, there is a tiny ray of lightContinue reading “Life is but a waterfall”
Is it “Day and Night” or ‘Night and Day”?
To the Sun and the Moon, The light escapes me. Sunlight. Moonlight. Which one comes first? Why do we belong with the Day and not the Night? Nocturnal owl, Who’s to say we can’t live in your world? Who’s to say we don’t quite fit in? With those big glowing eyes, you can seeContinue reading “Is it “Day and Night” or ‘Night and Day”?”
Monday Reflections: Time
Time does not yield, much less stop. It’s always moving It’s always passing. Time isn’t something we can hold onto. It isn’t tangible. It isn’t reversible. Time doesn’t tell us how much we’ve been given. It could be today or tomorrow. It could be years from now. Time is a mystery so we should liveContinue reading “Monday Reflections: Time”
Monday Reflections: Silver Linings
When your thoughts become overcrowded, remember there is a silver lining behind each dark cloud. When the hefty storms leave you feeling like a weeping willow, remember the tempest will leave behind a beautiful rainbow. At times, the world will seem overwhelming. At times, everything will be overbearing. But when you feel like you’re atContinue reading “Monday Reflections: Silver Linings”
Let’s all talk about it and raise awareness for National Epilepsy Awareness Month!
November is epilepsy awareness month. And as the month rolls on, I look at my disorder and see how it has come, gone, returned and evolved in the process. Epilepsy monster, medicines upon medicines never calmed you. After years of toil, I thought surgery would do the trick. For three years, you laid dormant and silent.Continue reading “Let’s all talk about it and raise awareness for National Epilepsy Awareness Month!”
A strangers kindness
Since last December, I’ve been learning to deal with epilepsy all over again. This new version of epilepsy has come in the form of grand mal seizures and not my previous complex partial seizures. My body doesn’t like the physical exhaustion this new type leaves, but it beats having them sparingly versus small handfuls ofContinue reading “A strangers kindness”
