List three books that have had an impact on you. Why?
In this blog, I will discuss three books that had an impact on me. These books are all good reads if you have the time to read them.
The 1st book is Over my head by Claudia L. Osborn. She was a Primary Care Doctor with her own practice. One day she was riding her bike and got hit by a car and sustained a traumatic brain injury. She had to learn how to do everything over again, which is why it had an impact on me because she went through similar things that I had to learn. Such as, writing things down if I want to remember something. Even names of people she had to write down and what they did. Her struggles, such as memory issues are similar to my own, which is another impact.
The 2nd book is David Pelzer’s The Lost Boy, which was his journey through the foster care system to find a loving family as a teenager. In which he finds eventually. The impact it had was all the foster care homes he went through. I am just glad I didn’t have to go through that system.
The 3rd book is also by David Pelzer which is called “A child called it.”It is about David Pelzer’s physical abuse by his mother who drank alcohol. He would eventually get taken away from his birth family and in the 2nd, he went through the foster system. This book had an impact on me because I also was physically abused, not to the extreme he was, but bad enough. I could relate to this book.
In conclusion-the first book was Over my head by Claudia L Osborn and her struggles with her traumatic brain injury. The 2nd book is David Pelzer’s “The Lost Boy,” which is his journey through the foster care system. The 3rd book is also David Pelzer’s “A child called it.” It is about his physical abuse by his drunken mother. Thank you for reading.
What fears have you overcome and how?
This blog is about fears I overcome and how? I think of the future a lot and I get anxious about it because of the injury I live with (shot in the head). It never gets easier. Sometimes I want to spend all day in bed, but I know I can’t because I have to work to live. So I motivate myself by drinking a lot of caffeine and water and only think about today, because tomorrow is yet to be lived. The future can wait for another day. Thank you for reading.
Describe one simple thing you do that brings joy to your life.
In this blog, I will discuss one thing that I do that brings joy to my life. Lots of people have different things that bring joy to their life. It may be their job, a pet, or their children. Whatever it is it makes people’s lives worth living because it brings joy to their lives.
What brings joy to my life is playing music. Either writing lyrics, playing drums, shaker, or singing. All of it brings me joy. I write and play drums every day because it brings me joy. Thank you for reading.
How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen?
In this blog, I will discuss how I know when it is time to unplug and what I do to make it happen? People have all kinds of ways of knowing when it is time to unplug. A big piece is when I get tired and my eyes are hurting from looking at a screen. So I unplug and write in my notebook or maybe I go to sleep. Or else, I will read a book to give my eyes a rest from screens. Thank you for reading.
What quality do you value most in a friend?
In this blog, I will go over what I value most in a friend. Since, I am disabled (walk with a limp and have a bum left-arm from being shot in the head), I value understanding and empathy, being able to put yourself in my shoes.

Do you practice religion?
In this blog I will discuss whether I practice religion. Many people from all over the world practice religion. There are a lot of different religions in the world and many people believe in them.
I practice the Catholic religion. I do not go to church regularly because of the sexual abuse of children by the priests. I cannot support that. It is wrong.
Instead, I pray the rosary and ask God to bless me and my family and friends. I pray the rosary every day. The rosary seems to work at making me happier than not praying the rosary. Believing in God makes me a more well adjusted adult.
In conclusion- I don’t go to church, but I pray the rosary every day. Thank you for reading.
