Drug free side effects

That might have caught your attention.

As some of you may know I've had a bit of a musical ear worm that I adopted as a mantra and I I've been saying bubbles rainbows and butterflies as I go to bed.

At a very wet walk last week when others were moaning about the rain I said that I enjoyed it. I got some strange looks and I explained that I like it because it dampens noise levels.

I find myself randomly smiling and am able to actively take pleasure in the smallest things.

One of the group's I attend have called me "the doctor" because I keep things simple and have given practical tips that they have used and have worked.

Another group call me the wise one. Heaven help them😀

Smiling is becoming more regular and I believe that I have been conditioning my brain in a good way.

This might sound big headed . It is really just to let you know that there is hope.

May today be filled with all you need and leave you feeling that you did well.

Love n hugs

Xoxo

That's probably why I love the rain- never thought about it like that but I think yes it does dampen noise levels.

Such a good feeling when you can create a nice vibe around you- excellent :)

Awwh thanks aqua.

It meant so much to me being told that others see me as positive, doctor and wise.

I will try to hold on to that feeling on those days when things go pear shaped.

Hope you are having a good day.

Love n hugs

I know, I am always happy in front of others but have been so low at times and it's hard to pick yourself up sometimes.

So glad to hear that you are experiencing these "transcendental" good times. It seems like well-merited compensation for the other times when you have felt very different.

I have no doubt that you are indeed wise and helpful to others. Isn't it interesting that, quite apart from that, when you are in a positive spirit, you stand out so much and elicit the positive feedback? I thinks that many people are either stressed or held back in a passive mode by the TV and computer habits. When in the presence of a person who is letting their inner light shine bright, they are energized, admiring and grateful. Keep being that positive force. The world needs you.

I often try to clear my mind at night. Tonight ome bubbles and or butterflies may fly into that space....

Thank you so much Talav.

In part I think it's because I'm learning not to define myself by my brain injury and the things I can't do....Instead I am learning to be me.

Anything that makes you feel good are the words I chose to repeat before bed. That's why I chose bubbles butterflies and rainbows. Even now I have a smile as I type this.

Love n hugs
