What's Your favorite thing about Winter??
I have a hard time when it comes to feeling sorry for myself. I kinda suck at it. Allow me to explain what I mean in photo form.
Today though I complained about an intense migraine that lasted a good solid 12 hours. And I'm pretty positive that I get getting these dang things because of the brand of birth control my pharmacy switched me to. Which is some bull on its own. But anyway, I find I complain way too much and I should be more Thankful for the things that I do have. It is after all November, the Month of Thanks. (As well as No Shave November!!!)
Speaking of being thankful, I am also thankful for being able to meet and get to know (in real life) the amazing young lady from my home county that appears in this video.
This is Sabrina. And she is an awesome person and she is going through some pretty heavy junk right now, like having a Spinal Cord Injury. In the video, she talks about what happened during the wreck, while she was in the hospital, and how she is progressing now. She is 5 months into her recovery since her wreck and she is so darn brave and her story is inspiring to me in so many ways. Like how I need to be more thankful for little things. She is so positive and open about her situation.
Anyway,
another reason I am posting this video is because she asks that people
do so. She wants to try to help people understand her story as well as
hopefully give some support to people going through an injury similar to
hers. She really is a delightful person and I recommend that you watch
this video and maybe even pass it on to your social networks. You never
know who something like this could help. Also, here is a link to
Sabrina's blog where she talks about her recovery as well as normal blog
type stuff: www.sabrinadellinger.blogspot.com
I remember when Sabrina got in her wreck. She, in a way, was the first of many very sad things to happen in my county. Sabrina got in her wreck, which devastated so many people in my county. Then one of my very good friends Jessica was hit by a drunk driver. Which caused her to have to have an emergency c-section and deliver her daughter, whom she didn't get to see for a few days because she was life-lined to a larger hospital without her baby. Jess also broke her ankle in the wreck as well. Both her a baby are doing good now, Jess is still working on healing her ankle though. Then a few weeks later a family friend crashed into the side of a semi (a lesson to everyone that drinking and driving is never a good idea!) He is ok now, but is still learning how to walk. In the same 24 hours, another girl my age from my county was hit by a van while she was riding her motorcycle. Unfortunately after a few weeks she passed away. That girl was a huge part of my tiny county and she left a major impact on this Earth. The final thing to happen in my county so far was my 2 year old neighbor boy drowned in his family's backyard pool.
I mention these things because too often we forget to just stop and be thankful for the people around us. It is so dumb to have petty fights with people. Family, friends, you never know when the last time you will see them is. I am so thankful for the people that do make it out of accidents alive, and I still pray for all the people from my community recently impacted by losses. I cannot stress enough how important wearing a seat belt and/or a helmet is. Just think about what it would be like if you never go to see your family again. Put your seat belt on, you never know what is around the corner.
I digress. I want to end this post on a lighter note, so I will post a few pics, as usual.First off, this video was taken by me in the physics class I am in. Our teacher blew up a trash can using a mt. dew bottle and liquid nitrogen in a Forum full of 250 kids. This video doesn't even begin to display how freakin loud this thing was!! It was intense and you can hear a few of us freak out at the end of the video. It was magical.
And then some random pics.
