“I learned sign language in preschool! I wish I remembered it and I really would like to learn it again, I am only able to use one hand, though.” So, I belong to a lot of different groups on Facebook. One of them being ASLize your Life. On April 21st, they posted a picture that reads “Everyone should know American Sign Language! It should be taught at schools”
I used sign language tonight at the gym!!! I was swimming and I stopped at the end by the guy in the lane to my right so I could talk since that is my absolute favorite thing to do and then the guy signed to me spelling his name. I felt so embarrassed. I told him that I would learn more sign. The girl who got me in the accident over ten years ago can sign because her oldest sister is deaf and I have always been slightly jealous of that and nowadays with what I do for a living it would be helpful. I so wish I kept mine up.
Hey, I'm Sarah and I have a brain injury. It has officially been a decade since my family and I’s entire lives were “flipped turned upside down” but, just like in the car accident, I took the brunt of it all and I will continue to do so until the day I die. I have a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), what is commonly (or not so commonly) referred to as an “invisible disability” so, yes, I am and I always will be disabled, for the rest of my life. I do have my struggles as I will for the remainder of my days but, when I tell you that the accident was the best thing that has ever happened to me, I truly mean it. Now, that may seem odd to you, am I right? It was and it still is the best thing to ever happen to me, in my eyes. Can I tell you why? It has weeded out everyone who was “friends” with me for reasons other than the right reasons to be someone's friend, it has brought my focus back to the important things in life like my family, my overall health, and my work. Three things, well two, that I have complete control over. This is a place for me to remember and write down my thoughts. I hope you guys enjoy them!
