No one realizes how hard it is unless they live it!

Around here December means cold and snow.

It also means having to be very careful around the snow and ice

thus meaning that you may be stuck inside for purposes of safety.

Or if you do get out it is also risky because many adults simply avoid you because you are different,

and kids give you long stares because they are curious.

You often can’t win either way.

How the heck do you manage to keep calm and out of trouble?

Staying inside can be very boring and also very isolating.

My suggestion is to stock up on the things you do enjoy doing and to get the heck outside whenever possible.

For me it really is no different except I have additional things to worry about more so this year.

I don’t have much feeling on my right side so it can easily become numb and me not feeling it.

Ice can be slippery and even worse for me.

Crowds galore, rude people pushing, oh I have experienced it all.!

I could stay inside but that means isolation and lots of thinking.

So if I can ask one favor of everyone, Please welcome the different, be inviting. It will make their day and they may just surprise you.
