June is the month of love

June is the month where everybody books a wedding. Well it is the month where everybody came to visit us. I was incredibly blessed this month to get visits from Greg's parents. My parents, sister and nephews. And my lovely friend and her family who lives across the country. And as luck would have it I happened to be laid up after knee surgery so I couldn't work. So I had mandatory time off to spend with them. Yes God does work my life out for me.
I love people. More importantly I love my people. I sometimes feel tied down. You see we can't go for more than a day or two anywhere. Because of Sharon's schedule we are here. All my family lives far away. And Sharon does not do well with environmental change either. It takes at least a day maybe two to get her settled. Well we don't have that time. We have hours at the most. So we feel stuck in WI. But that is okay. I have family that travels clear across this country to come to us. I am so thankful for that. Instead of complaining about me not being able to come to WY. They just come here. It is not easy. I know the road is long. I actually like the trip. But it can be weary. And even a 6 hour drive is not fun. So I commend these travelers that come from here and there to see us for a few days.
It was sad to see the last visitor leave. Knowing that I would be going back to my routine of missing them. Wishing I lived closer. Of course, over the years have meet wonderful people that I haven't met. That would absolutely love to meet. I guess that is my problem for talking to people. I, however, am not going to give up on talking to people. I have gotten better at not being able to see them. Mostly because I know in my situation I can't. And it is easier to keep in touch now a days. However, with my busy schedule it is hard to keep up with everybody. I do feel incredibly guilty for I love them so much.
During this time in my life, I learned time is precious. The time you get with people make sure you enjoy it. And try to be a blessing to them. I want people to understand that they are precious to me. In everything that I do. I know I am precious to my heavenly Father. And that is something that is a constant reminder to me. I am precious to someone. I know I can't be a perfect example of that.I don't get it right all of the time. But what a goal to have.

Neurodiversity

Neurodiversity describes the idea that people experience and interact with the world around them in many different ways; there is no one "right" way of thinking, learning, and behaving, and differences are not viewed as deficits. The word neurodiversity refers to the diversity of all people, but it is often used in the context of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), as well as other neurological or developmental conditions such as ADHD or learning disabilities. The neurodiversity movement emerged during the 1990s, aiming to increase acceptance and inclusion of all people while embracing neurological differences. Through online platforms, more and more autistic people were able to connect and form a self-advocacy movement. At the same time, Judy Singer, an Australian sociologist, coined the term neurodiversity to promote equality and inclusion of "neurological minorities." While it is primarily a social justice movement, neurodiversity research and education is increasingly important in how clinicians view and address certain disabilities and neurological conditions.
