I did this "?" today
because I'm in investigating mode - & I don't know what's going to work, or
even IF something will - neither does Christina.
Julie Andrews came up today with Christina
- we talked about the amazing voice she used to have, & how she managed to
rebuild, re-create her life, how it must have been a process for her... I
mentioned Michael J Fox, who didn't go public about his Parkinson's until 7
years after his diagnosis.
A lot of people write books once
they've come out the other side of something major in their lives, & they
have an ending of sorts... I'm sharing some of my process - I don't have the
ending yet.
Here's my notes as I reviewed what
I've done so far... not being a perfectionist, I decided to share my 1 and only
draft -
Volunteering that for various
reasons isn't a good fit, what I'm doing at home, & 2 possible ideas - one
at our local shelter (I love cats & dogs), & one about neural rehab - specifically
vision.
I'm fascinated with neurological
rehab - something I knew NOTHING about prior to getting sick, & I remembered
Dr. Margolis talking to me - probably at least 3 yrs ago - about some kind of
interviewing... I said I was interested, but then my depression & anxiety
got in the way.
So now I'm thinking "well, what
about that? what about learning more about this vision thing?" I have no
idea what I can do - I have to reach out to Ann about this, & Dr. Margolis.
I DON'T want to look back
"X" number of yrs from now, & say "I didn't try"...
there's lots of little ways I'm pushing myself now, challenging myself. It's frustrating when lots of stuff doesn't
work, but I don't need LOTS of stuff to work - I just need 1 or 2.
