Humility
How Living with Confidence can become a Negative.
Raising five children is a huge responsibility for any family.
Raising five children alone is a monumental job for a single parent! Unconsciously, I pushed through my unexpected assignment until each of my responsibilities were out on their own.
Having passed a personal assessment by looking 20 years younger, retirement never crossed my mind.
With a job including up-close and personal contact with many celebrities and their families, it also served to keep me focused on the looking-glass. You still got-it, Baby!
Did I see the bus? No! After stopping at the crosswalk, I pulled forward when the light turned green. The last thing I remembered. In that instant my career, income, and purpose, came to a complete stop!
When 11 months of multiple psychiatrist appointments did not cure the stick poking my neck, I took myself to an outside hospital where the results were shocking!
A broken neck had healed crooked leaving me with an enclosed partial decapitation! Brain fluid leaks out my nose!
Consciously and unconsciously, my expectations were changed forever! Sleeping sitting up had become the new norm. Should I slip from the stack of pillows I cannot get up unless I pick-up my head in both hands. Extremely painful!
Seizures, double-vision, loss of short-term memory, and a Tic in my left arm that keeps me from writing clearly because I am left handed, are all new adventures. I think of it as the universe placing a Zapper on my left side and asking if it has changed my life?
“Society expects people to behave in certain ways. When people don’t meet our expectations, we become annoyed.” This statement sounds like tunnel vision. Using what was left I graduated summa cum laude with a Master of Science Degree and wrote a book!
Now, the question is not “if the expectations were set too high?” The question is, who are we to be judging others in the first place? I am not ‘wonky’ by choice, I am ‘Wonky’ by Chance!
