Day 36- 40

Hey- PD did.... So can I!!!

Day 36: what you think about your friends

I think my friends are amazing.  They have been supportive of me through this odd transition.  I'm sure there aren't many friends that 'put up' with mental illness transitions and medication adjustments and changes in personality.

Day 37: who are you

I am a nation of freedom-loving people. I am William Paul and Paul Revere.  I am Jefferson, Patterson, and Patrick Henry.  .... And I don't remember the rest of that quote.  It was from a play I did in fifth grade about our forefathers.  The play was written by someone local.  I I consult my journal from elementary, I'm sure I wrote it.  I still think of the song 'God Bless the USA' and can see myself lined up about to enter the stage when I think of it.


day 38: thoughts on your generation

Spoiled!  Most didn't try very hard for things that are given them.  This includes me. I could have worked harder for certain things.  I don't think children have respect or understanding of sacrifice.  We have this sense of entitlement that is resurrecting all the problems I thought we had gotten over-this is part of the reason I think the Trayvon case had so much impact.  I had never seen such backlash, but I've also been in the north the majority of my life.... So maybe I just never knew.


day 39: why you think you’ve learned more from the good or the bad

In my life, I have learned more of the bad.  I had made more mistakes than some of my friends.  I know that I didn't need to suffer as much as I have sometimes.  I know that at some things, I've worked really hard.  I know at others, it was given to me.  I've seen people at their absolute worst and not usually their best.  That's healthcare for you.


day 40: what are features you get complimented on a lot

I'm not big into compliments really.  I guess most recently, it's been my 'smarts' and my smile.  Few people have seen my true smile, it's only been captured a handful of times.  I was told it was the most amazing thing my exs had seen.  I understood what that meant earlier today, but that's a story for another time...

And now, I should be caught up!
