Gratitude is the Attitude
6 Comments
A wise woman once told me:
“When you wake up in the morning — before you get out of bed — think of 5 (or 10!) things that you’re really grateful for.”
(I think 10 is a bit of a stretch.)
That simple advice, changed my attitude. And my life.

For me, quite simply, it was my grandfather.
After all, I was a pariah. A leper. (No one would say the “E” word.)
I’d never achieve anything. My life was over.
Even though it had just begun.
Don’t let a “distracted doctor” kill you!

Do you know what happens during surgery?
Cut…open…correct…sew.

Well, not exactly.
You might be surprised. Or horrified to learn the truth.

Please understand, I am NOT saying that these supplements will cure, treat or prevent epilepsy — but I am saying that we folks with epilepsy have to do everything we can for our brain health.
And these supplements can help a lot with that.
In fact, the nutrients they contain are so important for your brain cells, you really should seriously consider them. That’s how strongly I feel. And the science backs me up.

What’s one of the most wonderful things your mother did for you?

When I was in fifth grade, I got sent home with a note to my parents, accusing me of plagiarism.
My parents called me into their room that evening (which was always a bad sign when you were signaled out from your sibs), and they asked me about the poem and where I found it.
I told them I found it in my heart and recited it.
