I have been reflecting. I know wen I am thinking better about things. As my spiritual teacher says, that we should notice three things and I thought of that when three events were shown to me which happened yesterday--that the house in New York sold three days earlier got notification of that, and a trust may be set up for mom's care, and my husband found the hearing aid place he needds to buy his hearing aids from when he goes to Mexico, and also the physical therapist said that I am moving and no problem with movement, but keep exercising and walking. He said I am extremely intelligent and I am amazing. I firsst felt as if I don't belong anywhere whether here in Alaska, Florida, California, New York, Arlington, and places I loved were Portland and also Seattle and Hawaii. I felt as if I did not belong in my body, that it is foreign to me also. I still have some pain, and that won't go away. At least, that is what Keith said. People don't see us when we are disabled. They have a problem with their perception and their brain tells them we cannot do anything, especially if we are intelligent. I realized when listening to a class on Sunday, that I don't want to be around people who want to suppress life and other people. Blogger is not that accessible with JAWS, and I'll see how long I can use this blog without switching to Wordpress or something. JAWS is not voicing what I am writing. Koraling Lynne
