All my past Good stuff and some of yours!

Autism didn't define me, it freed me from thinking that there was something wrong with my brain. Instead now I understand why I think and function the way I do and have come to respect myself much more. Whether you have Autism or you are a Neurotypical, self respect is important. Define yourself, do not allow the world, others or your problems to define who you are.

My friend, parikhitdutta, so sorry that I have been away so long. I saw that you had nominated me for something and I so appreciate that. I had not even had a chance to get back on that yet. I am down south visiting family and will return home soon. Life has been full of many changes for me over the past couple months and I hope to be able to post more soon. I have saved your most recent posts to catch up on. I look forward to the read. Have missed reading and corresponding.

I was sick for a good amount of time and have struggled with pain. I am perservering through and am doing well. Still awaiting more things from more Doctors. (Not my best friends) Your concern for me truly touches me. My battle has more been with my inner demons I think. Pain is something I have become accustomed to, even though I am now in more pain at times it seems than ever before. My determination physically to not let it stop me is profound. It is my disenchantment with people that had me all tangled up into myself. I am finally starting to pull my head back out of it’s “ostrich hole” so to speak, but not completely there yet. I refuse to be a pessimist. I believe just because there seems to be so many people that do and say mean and hateful things, does mean that there are not just as many good ones maybe. I just have to keep trying. As soon as I am brave enough, right? I got brave enough. Story will come soon. 😊

‘I believe just because there seems to be so many people that do and say mean and hateful things, does mean that there are not just as many good ones maybe. I just have to keep trying.’ You have already won half the battle! You are right, the demons inside the head are stronger and fiercer than the ones outside. It requires a lot of strength to hush them up and you are there, may be gradual but ain’t that a good start 🙂
You know an ostrich never buries its head inside the earth when being attacked just keeps its head parallel to the earth to listen carefully to the tremors of the predator and then makes a run 🙂
So you are already a winner 🙂

I didn’t know that about the Ostrich actually. Very interesting fact to know considering the “coined phrase”.
So true it is gradual. This time even more so. I find myself being so cautious. To be hurt by those outside is one thing, but when someone closer violates that trust…. you begin to have issues. When this happens repeatedly with not only one person but several within the span of a year? The betrayal and hurt are very deep. And learning to trust again is very difficult. I thought learning to forgive was hard. Ha, learning to get past the hurt… learning to forgive…learning to protect myself without becoming the predator… and learning to trust again (not necessarily the same people). You can only give so many chances after watching innocent children hurt and heartbreak on their faces. I am a protector of innocents. I have always been, always am and always will be. Thank you my friend. You are right. I am a winner. So are those innocents I helped to protect.

Learning to trust again when the faith was repeatedly stabbed is never easy. It stems from an act of self preservation I believe. But gradually, not the same people but learning to trust and not be vulnerable 🙂
‘I am a protector of innocents. I have always been, always am and always will be.’ They need you and you have always been there! And isn’t that the best 🙂

Yes it is the best.
“It stems from an act of self preservation”, you are so correct. “But gradually, not the same people but learning to trust and not be vulnerable”
You nailed it. That indeed is exactly what I am trying to do. A class act in it’s own right. But I thinkI am on the right track, It is knowing who I am and staying true to who that is all the way to the core.
Thank you again my friend. I find me once again by talking to you.

Time to get Granddaughters up and ready in a bit. We have a day of swimming ahead of us and fun in the sun. I will be sore and exhausted, but I will have a good time and lots of pictures, kisses and hugs. Fun times ahead.
