Subject: RE: BS: Waking Up Smart
Oh...and be careful. It could be like the now famous story "Flowers for Algernon" (made into a movie called "Charly")
Yes..... sometimes I wish I had never seen the movie or read the book, because sometimes on a foggy day that comes to mind, instead of the question, "OK, what do I need to do now?" And that Algernon thing gets in the way of being just purely grateful for the smart days, and taking them at a level pace instead of using them up so hard that something in rehab flares up and I'm back on a roller-coaster.
I KNOW that sounds so bipolar... I was raised in a home with an undiagnosed bipolar parent, and I think that is why the roller coaster seems more normal to me than taking things on an even keel. I mean, I know I have bipolar patterns of behavior, but I can always, always trace the appraent highs and lows to other phenomena, change the behavior (self-directed or with a reminder), and get back onto the upside pretty easily. ( :~) OCD is more likely! )
Mmm, yes, blood sugar (do people really EAT in daylight?).... coffeeeeeee.... must go adjussssttt....
