I really can not believe that it has been almost a month since the first time that I wrote in my journal.  When I first had my tbi I used to write, or scribble, in a journal every day!  I am really amazed at how i can look back and track my own recovery!  I have learned to laugh at my memory problem now, but there are times when it is just not funny or maybe it is because i just am not in the mood!  I am trying to work on my resume because I was just accepted into a program, DVR (Department of Vocational Rehibilatation), that is supposed to help my try and find employment.  I used to live in California and I was involved with several programs that was supposed to help you do that and it was VERY depressing!  I mean jeeze, i can land those volunteer jobs, that's for sure!  well we will see what happens.  I will try and not get my hopes up, but it seems like Washington works harder in the direction on Disabled and their rights than California did.  All I can do is try and we will see.  My family cant firgure out why I would want to mess up my guarenteed income from Social Security.  Thats confidence for you, they think that I will not be able to handle it and even if i do at first will it last for a long time maybe even forever?  what do you think?  Julie
