Impact On Your Life
Trying to find the "diamond," there is always one but having a tough time because this is not something I can help with lifestyle. I keep as good a lifestyle as possible to remain healthy, I didn't even know such a thing existed.
Positive Effects
Attempting to work that out. I think I could have grown spiritually without this, thank you very much, and I was doing quite nicely so far. I guess more empathy for how others with disabilities and difficult diagnosis feel.
Adaptations
Just reading glasses which I have been using now for a few years. Always wear sunglasses, and just in case I have upped my already ridiculously high intake of blueberries and leafy greens, especially my favorite addiction, parsley.
Employment
Have my own little business that keeps me pretty busy. Picture Framing. I have done that for over twenty years.
More About Me
Avid animal lover, I have not eaten animal products for many years. My kids are the same way. I also love teenagers, I try to help all the teenagers I can with their issues. I believe in love, compassion, and kindness to all.
