Hi Laura and MiaVita,

Sorry you hit your head. I have trouble in the car just like you. Also in crowded places. I wear ear plugs and sunglasses and used to hold onto my husbands arm.

Finally I decided to get a walking stick. It helps me balance and if it's bad My hubby grabs me. I like the independence of the walking stick. Target sells two I. A pack. When go on walks I'm going to try to use both to get my arms going. Just a normal pace, but it should help my health.

The animal watching helped me greatly from month 6 on. I fed the squirrels and fattened them up for winter. I have many birds where I live now, no squirrels so I am learning about them..very relaxing.

Spirituality comes to us in many ways. The animals and nature are such a beautiful, pure path. Nature is a foundation to me. It has always played a big role in my life but even larger now.

I'm going to get a finch feeder. We have purple and yellow finches her. I think I will add a bird bath to and a hummingbird feeder. I saw a crane yesterday. We have lots of geese and ducks. I haven't seen any fox, deer, or raccoons yet. Hoping to.

I so wish I could listen to audio books. I was a voracious reader prior to injury. Miss the stories immensely. Every now and then I will watch an animal documentary if it's a quiet day and I'm alone. Sometimes with sound for a bit.

One of my favorite voices is Peter Thomas. He narrates Forensic Files. I used to fall asleep to his voice. I wish he did other things besides the dark stories.

So glad to chat with you both!
