What would make you happy at this exact moment in time?
And now...for some linkys!
* Did you know that April is Autism Awareness Month? Yep. And I wrote a piece that I am really proud of. Actually it is an excerpt from a diary I wrote when my son was in the process of being diagnosed. It is very pure as it was happening right then. If you want to read any of my pieces today...please come to read this one as it is very personal and has a lot of meaning for me.
Just follow this link.
* I made some videos recently to tell the tale of my journey towards diagnosis for Multiple Sclerosis. If you want to see Merely Me up close and personal here is your chance.
Here is Part One of my story.
And here is Part Two.
* How does a parent handle when their teen is depressed? Find out here.
* And lastly...a very serious topic. How can you decrease the risk for sexual assault? Here are some safety tips from my research.
That's all for now...I hope you are all doing well!

I am just awestruck at your eloquent story. Many years have gone by, 8 to be exact. I can finally say the words you spoke as well, and I will if you don't mind. My son has Autism. Powerful words of acceptance. My lil boy has come a long way since those trancy times. He is playing little league baseball, and doing well in school. His Mother has yet to say those 4 words as I suspect she can't quite accept that our son is exceptional! Thank you so very much for a wonderful post that is near and dear to my heart. Bravo!
What would make me happy at this moment of time is peace, respect, and pure serenity
Teresa...what has happened to your other blog? I just looked and it is gone!
Coby...thank you so very much for this! I was wondering if you would like to share some of your experience in a comment or post over on the health central site. I am trying to get as much support as I can to get the word out about Autism awareness. Your story could help other parents. Thank you again for sharing your experience here.
watched all 4, d... and i'll say it again, you're one hell of a woman, dealing with ms, an autistic son, and another... plus a hubby, and home to run! amazing :x
well, at the risk of being kicked off the list, I'm thinking some sex would be really great.
If not sex, justy getting naked with a woman and giving her a great massage (sex being an option she can vote on, eh?)
hey.
You asked.
Now, I'll just go check out the links.
Hey! All my blogs are still there...or is something missing?
I have my blogs under "Teresa Lynne" and I just started a new one for bipolar disorder again under "Dreamwriter."
I will check it out :)
Happiness is a state of mind. It can't be given. It can't be taken away.
If I could just get my mind to understand that, I would be happy all the time. Wouldn't that be irritating?
Some food! I'm off to lunch
There is just something about 'hearing' and 'seeing' someone's story. When I added videos to sharing our MS caregiving story I was frankly stunned how more often they were viewed on You Tube than the journal was read.
You CAN share, please do. Patti's MS progression necessitates caregiver involvement to get any story out.
Your autsim piece was powerful. I was never immediately affected. When out and about with Jennifer and Tyler at an amusement park for example,Tyler's severe teen autism dominated by hyper activity and stimming can catch the lingering attention of some families. Once a young couple and a child in a stroller facing recent diagnosis of autism and seeing what might be their future asked to talk with J.
You have such a peaceful home in the background. It is easy to SEE part og what makes you happy.
Caregivingly Yours, Patrick

Happiness is a very tangled ball of crazy for me. I prefer to do my best with the materials at hand...
