A General Gift Of Encouragement

Hmmm, moving on from my last post, I'm thinking of all the random times where I've been a motivating, encouraging and inspiring person. Huh. Well, I haven't been able to inspire myself yet. I can talk myself into getting out of bed early in the morning, and talk myself into being willing to take my meds and have a normal Hayley-day. That's the thing. There shouldn't be one standard for normal. Because, then, you have people who feel bad, cause they're going to be in a wheelchair for the rest of their life or if they're like me, and have to take five or six pills a day so they don't have a seizure. Or, if they have HIV and have to take ten or twelve pills a day. Every one has their own, very distinct personal normal. My normal, is getting up, and having to take two pills, then go through the next few hours a lil sick and dizzy, then just going through the day. Then, before I go to bed I take three more. Then, I generally text Spencer until I fall asleep. That's my normal. What's your normal? I think Josh is right, about having a gift of Encouragement. I don't know many people who can be inspiring, I just know that I am one of those few people. I guess, that all the people are right. I'm funny, and pretty, and smart, and good at making people feel better about themselves and life! I guess, that's a really good gift to have. Whether it's cheering up Spencer, and keeping him from running away, or wanting to die, or Nichelle, helping her realize everyone has a different normal. yeah, I guess I have a pretty cool gift. And I don't know where I'd be without Paige and Spencer and Kayla and all my adopted family. :) You guys mean a lot to me, even the newer members, like Alex, and Kecia and Josh.
