This habit

What’s one habit that has improved your life the most?

The habit of praying to God has improved my life so much. He is the one entity that can take away all my pain and worries. When I pray to him I get positive and enlightened. So, I pray to him very often. I say rosaries almost everyday because I need his guidance in these dark times that are encircling my soul. Sometimes, i can only pray to him for a little bit, but at least I put in the effort to pray to him more and more. Thank you for reading. Have a nice night.

The hard years are everyday, but these years are easier than the years at the beginning of the injury.

What’s a chapter of your life you’d title “The Hard Years” — and what got you through it?

Being shot in the head by a cousin who was close to me is never easy. I have my good days and bad days, just like everyone else. I sure hope none of the beautiful people on here ever get shot in the head by a gun because it is not fun. The left-side of my body is paralyzed. My left arm doesn’t work and I walk with a gimp. So, this is my reality everyday, when I raise my head from my pillow. I have bad vision too because of the bullet going through my occipital lobe. It is not an easy life at all.

Really hard years:

When, I was 13 years old, right after the injury. I was having seizures, so they put me on Tegretol. Now, those years were hard because I couldn’t talk and I always wanted my bed. I was very slow. I remember always being tired on the medication. Life moved in slow motion for me. The only way I was functionable was on coffee. A lot of coffee and God got me through a lot of stuff back then.

Right after receiving my high school diploma at 19 years old. I managed to work at the Blake foundation as a janitor and I went to college on Tegretol. When, I was 26 years old, I got off of Tegretol thank God because I couldn’t even have a life back then.

Now, I don’t take any drugs and have been seizure free for years and hopefully I never have to get on seizure medication again. Thank you for reading. Have a great night.

This book! It was good 👍

What’s a book you think deserves a sequel?

This book deserves a sequel because Deena, the main character in the book received a new dog at the end of the book. To recap, the book is about a woman who is going through a midlife crisis. She is getting older. She is struggling with empty nest syndrome because all her children are growing up and are going to leave her home soon. She has three children. One is already out of the house. Two are still in the house, but are in high school, so soon they will be in college too. Deena (the main character)is a stay at home mom, so she decides to raise a sight seeing dog from a puppy to a grown dog. It is her job to train the dog and teach it to be obedient because in a couple years. She will have to relinquish the dog over to a person, who is blind. The first dog she received was named Heloise. She put everything she had in that dog and taught the dog to be obedient. She gave Heloise to a person who is blind. Now, she has received a new dog. The new dog is named Louis. So I think this book deserves a sequel because she has received Louis at the end of the book. It would be interesting to see what happens with this new dog. Thank you for reading. Have a nice night.

This villain had a point.

What villain actually had a good point?

Darth Vader was the ultimate villain with his scary voice and the way he used the light saber was very masterful. He was good when he was younger, but when he grew into himself. He became evil and was turned to the dark side of the force by Emperor Palpitine. The force is what gives Jedi knights and evil people like Darth Vader their powers. So, they can choke people without touching them or move things without touching the things.

In Empire Strikes Back, the second movie of Star Wars. When, Luke Skywalker (Jedi knight) and Darth Vader were fighting with light sabers. Darth Vader said, “I am your father.” Luke Skywalker, said ” Noooo, that is impossible,” and Darth Vader had a good point because he was Luke Skywalker’s father. Thank you for reading. Have a good night.

If I had the money

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

I would move to Los Angeles because they have an active music scene. I write lyrics everyday and play drums, and also sing a little bit. So, I am sure I would find their music scene very worthwhile. So, if money was not an issue, that is where I would move. Thank you for reading. Have a good night.

Lesson I learned

What’s a lesson you’ve learned recently that shifted your perspective?

I learned that I need to respect the uniform of the police. Never lay my hands on a policeman or woman. There have been many instances where people hurt policemen and women and that is not right. They go to prison for a long time. They risk their lives everyday, so that we can be safe most of the time. You get a bad policeman, but most are very helpful and knowledgeable about the streets and won’t hurt you, until you do something wrong. George Floyd was an exception. Most policemen and women deserve your respect because they uphold the law. So, I learned just to do the right thing and policemen or women will leave me alone.

Sleep is good

What do you do to improve your sleep?

Sleep is very important because when I don’t get enough sleep. I get cranky and moody. So I try to prioritize sleep as much as possible. Before bed, I will eat a banana because of the triptiphin. Triptiphin helps with sleep. Turkey has triptiphin. That is why you want to sleep after eating turkey.
I also take 250 milligrams of magnesium. It calms my nervous system. It really makes me feel like sleeping. Also, I try rhyming a word, such as night in bed. When, I get restless. This technique usually puts me fast asleep. Thank you for reading. Have a great night.

What an accomplishment!

Hit 5,000 steps today and drop your achievement here — we’re cheering you on!

I am really pleased I hit 5000 steps. I feel so good about it. I am relieved that it only took one day to do. I went to the mall and picked up this and ate it there to celebrate the victory. It was bitter sweet, but I did it with time left over. I was walking and walking and tracking my steps with my smartphone. I looked down and it said 5000 which was great. So, i had to treat myself.

This treat was so good. Well, worth the effort I put in to completing the task at hand. Well, we will see if I can do another 5000 steps. I may do it again and treat myself to something else. You never can tell. Thank you for reading. Have a great night.
