Reflections on a Quiet Sunday: Embracing Life's Simple Moments
7/13/20261 min read
today was an uneventful normal Sunday. I never made it to Mass which is unusual, I went yesterday though. I was out last night and made the mistake of having a beer. 1 beer affects me now a lot, especially with the medicine I'm on. So today I slept in until 3.
I worked on the house all day, then decided to go to wings and rings. There is an amazing waitress there who I shared my story with. I gave her my book a few weeks ago, her and her bf love it. I actually want to speak all over, and hopefully I can now.
My oldest is on her second trip with a different friend now. I actually rely on her with the kids probably more then I should. It's great she has such good friends, something that I never had. Tomorrow I get them back, this is my week that I have 5 days in a row. So I always get excited to get them back. Which is more fun for kids I think. Another hidden benefit of having a brain injury. This will never change so when I get grandchildren I get to live it all over again.
I'm so lucky that I had this injury. It gave me insight that I never would have had. It made me humble, if you knew me before this accident I was the exact opposite.
So I finished dinner, I always get the grilled chicken Cesar salad. Another thing is I can literally have the same thing everyday and not get tired of it. Every meal is like the best I've had which is another big benefit. So with all that have a great night, tomorrow is brand new.
