Some of the Best Advice I got on Raising Kids

 If your raising kids there are two things you should have plenty of.

Board games and Books!

Rainy days, Power outages, long road trips, down sick times, company, friends overnight, family picnics, and the famous I'M BORED.... days.

Why are they IMPORTANT?

Reading is the key. Being able to comprehend and understand what you read, unlocks the possibilities.

You can LEARN ANYTHING if you can read and comprehend what you read.

Board games teaches us how to win gracefully and lose with pride. How to 'play together' and 'get along'. Playing with others teaches us how to get along with others. Playing together teaches us how to share, patience to wait our turn, kindness towards others, how to relax and laugh at ourselves as well as with others.

It isn't about winning or losing.

It's about HAVING FUN & PLAYING TOGETHER.

Books and Games help us teach our children how to be happy, kind adults that are intelligent.

Claustrophobia

 Claustrophobic...

That was the answer. {The kick in the ribs that made me unable to breathe, yesterday}

Its not something I can cure, just deal with or get over. There is no magic pill to make it go away.

Its something that has been a part of me all my life, I must learn to live with.

I don't know when a place is going to trigger it until it happens.

I honestly thought with so many windows it would be ok.

But when the door shut and the hours dragged on...

Im still recovering... shit like this, hits you in the back of the knees and knocks you down. Many people don't understand. Its paralyzing, like depression. Takes a few to get back up. Some folks stay down cant get up.

MENTAL CONDITIONS ARE REAL DISABILITIES.

Be kind to others, you really don't know what's going on inside.
