My guinea pigs get treats regularly, which they love. When they hear the rustle of a bag, they wheek, in hopes that the bag might contain something special for them. Today, I was passing out molasses, raisin, and oatmeal horse treats. They come as three circles together as a triangle and I usually break them… Continue reading Cavy Treats

Count Your Blessings
After a friend, Kylee, was hospitalized after a particularly scary series of dystonic attacks and still chose to post 10 positives for the day, I decided to follow suite and post a list of my own positives. I also found this very appropriate quote which reminds me of the old hymn “Count Your Blessings.” Download the full… Continue reading Count Your Blessings
Anti-Christmas
I’ve not been around much, and I suppose there are excuses for it, but I’m not going to go into them in depth here (maybe later). This post is to talk about this crazy holiday we are celebrating.

God is worthy and I cannot give Him what He deserves. It doesn’t matter if you have one working arm or a hundred, as humans we simply… Continue reading Who Can Do It?
How Can I Say Thanks?
During worship this morning, I stood gritting my teeth and holding back tears, desperately clutching my arm to my body in an attempt to protect it from the low bass sound waves ricocheted around my body. For some reason, my arm responds to low sound waves the same way your arm might if it was… Continue reading How Can I Say Thanks?
I Can Niko
The purpose of this blog isn’t for me to complain, but to comment on my life with a chronic pain syndrome, which of course includes pain. Even though pain is a part of my everyday life, it isn’t always the thing that most affects my life. Sometimes the emotional struggles are just as difficult as… Continue reading I Can Niko
