Had a friend say to me the 23rd psalm. It says walk through the valley. He said notice the word walk. It doesn't say give up. It doesn't say go around. It says walk. It's on purpose WALK. Other people need to see you walk through the valley so they can be encouraged by you. Thank so much for your ministry!

I definitely have more off days than I'd like to admit but I'm not sure if I have frontal lobe injury but I have dai but I'm also bipolar so I don't know why I'm feeling overwhelmed with sadness but I am trying to deal with it each day at a time

Good stuff. I have strong sensitivity to light, so dark days are fun for me. It's nice to hear how others deal with the day to day... I still have a sense of humor, and I count myself blessed for that. I still cringe when people say they know how I feel. I got my first Concussion around 1967, and have lost count over the years.... I generally tell the curious that I have lost multiple Head Butting contests, at least two of which were against The Planet Earth. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for sharing - it sounds like you have gone through quite a journey! I also have sensitivity to light. I'm glad that you have come through your journey the way you have. Thanks for the encouragement!
