The Best Form Of Therapy

Blogging Friends.... Thank-you for your comments on the other day's post!! I truly appreciated them!! Since clicking "publish", I have been doing some serious thinking regarding this potential possibility of obtaining my dream. Scribbling thoughts/feelings/emotions/notes/considerations in a paper journal. And. While I am no step closer toward pursuing this dream of being a published author, scribbling thoughts/feelings/emotions/notes/considerations is moving forward rather than remaining stuck!! We shall see, for only God holds the answers....

I am keeping this Blog post short and sweet as I'm going to attend my niece, "Amethyst"/her Daddy's double birthday party today!!

"Work is the best form of therapy for me. When my mind isn't focused, I get into trouble." --Robert Downey Jr.

I have, it turns out, a lot in common with my very favorite actor. We're Kindred Spirit Oddballs!! One of the best advantages to having a lot in common with Robert Downey Jr.--and we are not, in any way shape or form, completely identical personality-wise--is realizing self-discoveries about myself. Such as this. I am a creative individual. As is he!! I possess a crazy never-shuts-down head. I am fairly certain that he does too!! And, having monthly Writing Projects, I put that crazy never-shuts-down head of mine to work!! Because. My crazy never-shuts-down head can also get me "into trouble" what with minor mood swing-infused pity parties, and negative thoughts/feelings/emotions. But Writing Projects!! Putting this crazy never-shuts-down head of mine to work? It provides my life with an immense sense of purpose!! Which. Is exactly, I believe, what keeps me "out of trouble"!! My minor mood swing-infused pity parties, and negative thoughts/feelings/emotions? They have become much less intense, plus frequent--knock on wood!!--with these monthly Writing Projects!! So. Having a lot in common with Robert Downey Jr.? It means. On a much smaller level than his version of "trouble" {You know what I mean!!} I can wholeheartedly relate to this quotation!!

"It must be good to have so many great ideas going around in your head.". It is!! I. Love. It!! Having a crazy never-shuts-down head? To quote Peter Parker from "Spider-Man". "It is my blessing. It is my curse."!! {I think that is a direct quotation!!} ;op; February 23, 2014 at 2:08 PM

"It's A... Terrible Privilege"

{Taken from "The Avengers"}
Tony Stark: You know, I've got a cluster of shrapnel, trying every second to crawl its way into my heart.
[Stark points at the mini-arc reactor in his chest]
Tony Stark: This stops it. This little circle of light. It's part of me now, not just armor. It's a... terrible privilege.
Bruce Banner: But you can control it.
Tony Stark: Because I learned how.
Bruce Banner: It's different.
[Banner tries to read the computer screen, but Stark slides the data aside with his finger so the two can see face-to-face]
Tony Stark: Hey, I've read all about your accident. That much gamma exposure should have killed you.
Bruce Banner: So you're saying that the Hulk... the other guy... saved my life? That's nice. It's a nice sentiment. Save it for... what?
Tony Stark: I guess we'll find out.
[Banner and Stark get back to work at their respective computers]
Bruce Banner: You might not enjoy that.
Tony Stark: You just might.

Raelyn:

I am a 31-year old American woman. I was born with multiple birth defects. Craniosynostosis. {I did not have any soft spots.} Congenital diaphragmatic hernia. {I had a hole in my diaphragm.} And Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. {I had an irregular, rapid heartbeat.} All three birth defects have been surgically repaired!! I live with "developmental delays". Learning disabilities, if you will. Such as--unfortunately--premature short-term memory loss. Oh, and I have attention deficit disorder, as well!! I do not like to evade such an issue as my learning disabilities. No. It hurts sometimes to be different. I was also diagnosed with a condition called folliculitis decalvans. {I am more than likely going to lose my hair, go bald, and unveil twain Frankenstein-like surgically-created craniosynostosis scars. Permanently.} But God is gradually teaching me that we are all, as my phrase goes, Beautifully Unique!!
