I’VE DECIDED I’M MY BEST THERAPIST, & MY OWN WORST ENEMY… I’M MY BEST THERAPIST BECAUSE I INSIST 2 ACCOMPLISH A FEAT, & REFUSE 2 ASK 4 HELP. BUT I’M MY OWN WORST ENEMY BECAUSE I DO APPRECIATE THE HELP THAT’S OFFERED, & ONCE I DO SOMETHING. IT’S ASSUMED THAT I CAN ALWAYS EASILY DO IT! NOT SO.

I LIKE THE CHALLENGE, & THE FEELING OF ACCOMPLISHMENT THAT FOLLOWS, IF I CAN DO IT…& SINCE I’M STUBBORN, THE QUES. IS NOT “CAN” I DO IT, BUT “WHEN.” IT JUST MAY NEED TIME &/OR CREATIVITY. PRAYER WORKS WONDERS 4 ME…I PRAY ABOUT MOST OF WHAT I DO, & SUDDENLY GET STRONGER, OR HAVE AN IDEA ABOUT HOW 2 DO SOMETHING.

I.E., IN THE CASE OF RAISING MY ARM (WHICH IS HIGHER LAYING DOWN, VS. SITTING), MANY ATTEMPTS FAIL–THAT’S WHY I PRACTICE!

MANY ITCHES R ALSO NEVER SCRATCHED—I KNOW MK WOULD SCRATCH, & I DO ASK 4 HELP IF THE ITCH PERSISTS, BUT MANY R UNREACHABLE & OVER B4 I CAN SPELL 2 ITCH IT!

IN ADDITION, I’VE BEEN TOLD THAT I ALSO COMPENSATE WELL 4 MY EYES (DOUBLE VISION)–EVEN MY CAREGIVER 4GETS SOMETIMES THAT I HAVE POOR VISION. BUT THERE’S THINGS I DO, AS MY THERAPIST, 2 MAKE MY VISION BETTER—EVEN SITTING IN CHURCH & TRYING 2 FOCUS ON STUFF THAT IS FAR AWAY, DIGI. SCRAP., PLAYING SODUKP OR SPIDER SOLATAIRE, IS 2 BETTER MY VISION. & BET I TRY 2 ACCOMPLISH WAY MORE THAN I SHOULD, WHEN I NEED SO MUCH HELP—WHICH MIGHT EXPLAIN MY STRESS LEVEL…

STILL, I CERTAINLY BELIEVE THAT U NEED 2 DO THE MOST W/WHAT U R GIVEN. BECAUSE OF IT, BEING MY OWN WORST ENEMY IS HELPING ME 2 CHALLENGE MYSELF 2 IMPROVE, SLOWLY, BUT SURELY.
