    Some days I feel lucky in the fact that my husband is generally always in a good mood. I call him Mr. Personality. Because of his TBI, he doesn’t comprehend the stresses of everyday life. In his mind, he is like a child with no worries, he loves his snacks (he’s a bonafied cookie monster…lol), loves his cartoons and reality TV, and makes…[Read more]

    • Lisa!!!! Good for you for writing this out. This sentence really stood out for me: “All I have left is who he is today.” That says so much about what you’ve both lost. It’s hard that you’re the one who remembers the losses for both of you.

      You’re wise to take it a day at a time, which gives you the time you need to allow for the adjustments…[Read more]

    I’m having trouble journaling the new 3 words this week. It’s a personal issue not a mechanical one……smile…….but the six word exercise popped in my head quickly so here it goes………….inability to fix what’s been broken.

    • Oohhhh!! I love your six-word worry.

      With the three words, start with one–whichever one seems easiest. Write a sentence. See what happens. :)

  • Hi Sunshine,
    Talking with others who are in similar situations is a new experience for me. I have been so secluded for so long that sharing is difficult but Im gonna try. For 2 days I tried to blog. I wrote […]

  • Good Morning Sunshine=Sometimes! I was actually going to blog and then got sidetracked clicking around on the website and did the journaling instead……grin. Thank you for the writing compliment! I will try […]

  • As I think back to the past, where it seems now that ” life was but a dream”, I can remember that the husband and I had huge gatherings of ” friends” over to our humble abode for just about any excuse we could […]
