New glasses, new way to look at the world!

So, I got new glasses on Wednesday as I was on the way to Wausau to meet a support group for TBI survivors.  I thought that was a neat thing, new glasses for a new way to look at my TBI

I truly hate the "excuses" for the TBI I don't really think of them as excuses anymore but they are reasons why I have to create a new/different life.  I have an increased good outlook if I think of it as reasons rather than excuses.  I think the way that you approach life and what it deals you is vital to whether it is good or bad, whether you are happy or sad...I've now decided that I'm going to be a positive person.  I'm not sure how I was pre accident but i'm going to make it a point to be positive from now on.

I absolutely LOVE the support group, There were many people there that have gone through or are going through the same think that I am and they could help me relate, Jerome even felt comfortable talking and interacting.  They were all positive, there wasn't any one of them that said anything negative, it was definitely a positive group.  One of them even said, It could always be worse, there is always somebody that has it worse than you do.  One thing also is that we all could find issues with our TBI but we are all finding ways to deal with it.  It was such a positive thing.  I was all gung ho on starting my own group but I think I will continue with this group for a while before I try to start my own.  My new idea is that I should take things slow, crazy idea, right?! lol

I was up late on Wed because of the support group but had to be up and moving by 7 to take Polar to the vet, Leah to the ortho, drive home and back to Marshfield for therapy on Thursday.  Then work Friday; help at a funeral and back to work Saturday with a church potluck that night. And then I went to the bar for a white russian, ended up having 2 salted nut roll shots with former students.  I went shopping with my girls today in Wausau, it was awesome.  Needless to say, I'm tried, really tired.  I've decided that I'm not going to be stopped but I will make myself to listen when my body says slow down....stop!.  For many this is definitely new for me.  I'm going to listen to what my body is saying, I'm not going to fight it, I'm going to do this! I am! I will have 0 expectations so that i will not be disappointed, I'll only be pleasantly surprised! This is another thing that has come about from the support group! I love this group!!!
