Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
Great Big Warm Hug!!
Wishing only the best for you and DH. Thank you for letting us know.
“The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you."
so sorry to hear that. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I get it . I won’t drive through Brooklyn or Queens anymore . They drive crazy there in general .
I think it makes them worse actually gives them a whole who cares additude and not respecting that driving is a privilege.
Being dyslexic, I know my limitations on driving, its others that don't get it ,when they don't understand why I won't drive though Albany. They think I'm being a princess or something.
Don’t get me wrong I don’t mind getting the form filled out . But ……. I think if a family member raises a concern about an 87 year old , DMV should test them .
Meanwhile DMV ( in another state ) did nothing when I voiced concerns about my MIL’s ability to drive safely .
Life is just weird
Too much empathy can be a curse also. But I always understood people that where different, and stick up for the underdog. I think that comes from feeling like I'm different on the inside.
Your children where so fortunate to have you
And so are you. Often people with learning disabilities suffer from low self esteem. You have survived that and a dysfunctional family and are still learning . Well done you!!!
Pam Z - isn't it great being a grandma!!!
As for keep learning, actually like ten years ago I figured out how to learn and honestly I haven't stopped learning different things ever since.
Someone once asked me if I was a nurse, because I knew a lot. I just like to read.
Good for you still learning!!!
Also instead of hiding, pretend I'm like others, I'm much happier letting it all out there.
I've realized there is such little know about dyslexia, so I'm trying to educate a little to. There is so much knowledge about autism, ADHD, and down syndrome, so little about dyslexia.
I just want to scream when people say you read good you can't be. Then they spend time with me and there like OH , I get it!
That's why your flour container says Dread floor, instead of Bread flour , in permanent marker. 😂
Impressed with your open telling of your struggles! I think we often have no idea what others are going through.
