  • My Music

    Wednesday, April 2, 2008

    I'd like to talk a little bit about how music has affected my life. Music lets me escape my reality and enter a world where I am loved and the world is a beautiful place. I am taken away by my music and feel the love the person singing a love song must have felt while writing the song. I don't just hear music, I feel it, for me it is an emotional experience. Not just with certain songs bu...

  • A little piece of sunshine

    Friday, May 30, 2008 | A Positive story

    I went for a walk about an hour ago down to my mailbox. I just had to get out of the house for a few minutes even if it was for nothing more than to simply get my mail. By this time the sun was peeking out from around the clouds and the air felt so nice which made for a very pleasant walk. Since the 1st is on a Sunday, Matthew's SSI check came so I decided to take another stroll over to the s...

    FORGIVENESS:
    Today's Power Word is a great test of strength and wisdom. Remember
    that in forgiving we release ourselves from the shackles of anger,
    bitterness, and disappointment. In this life we will encounter those
    who will do unkind things, but i...

    Yep we had our appointment with the psychiatrist today and he has told us the she has Aspergers. Finally after all the months of wondering whether she did or not we have our answer.

  • One more step in the right direction.

    Monday, January 26, 2009 | A Positive story

    I have taken the last step in the closure of my marriage. Saturday, I gave back to him the last piece of our marriage. I dropped it ever so gently into his open hand. I don't think he saw that coming. It wasn't meant to be a surprise to him or as a negative gesture. When he opened his had, there was my wedding band. His mother had asked us to use their wedding bands (his mom and dads, dad...
