An inspiring idea 
                                       Boy it sure was a beautiful day for a walk yesterday!  I was so eager to get my MP3 player and my cell phone and get outside for a bit of fresh air.  I didn't even have to worry about a jacket by the way I dressed.  For the record I wore a pair of my sweat pants and a sweatshirt.  As I was walking I could see many people also enjoying the nice temperatures.   
                                       It's nice because if we pass each other we will wave and say a quick hello.  For the record I LOVE to walk.  I have always wanted to join one of those walk a thons such as the AVON  walk for breast cancer but a lot of those walks take place in Akron or Cleveland.  Mom than told me about a breast cancer walk that Dillards sponsors.  I was all for it and I immediately went on the internet to see if I could find out the date but so far there is none.
                                   Mom thinks it takes place in the fall, the month that breast cancer awareness takes place.  But anyway the more I was thinking the more I wanted to join a walk for my own cause which of course has to do with epilepsy.  Of course everyone knows I had dealt with seizures for 21 years.  I was lucky enough to be able to have surgery that had led me to be seizure free for two and and a half years.
                             But anyway I had joined an epilepsy site that gives you all the information and support that you need.  You can chat to others, share your story, and read some events that go on.  One of the events I found out about was the seizure awareness walk.  My heart beat with excitement but quickly broke because of the location, which was Washington D.C.  For the record the seizure awareness color is purple and the seizure awareness month is November. 
                    I didn't know there was a month or a color for epilepsy until I talked to a girl in the epilepsy chat room that deals with seizures.  We are friends on face book now and she is so sweet.  She believes that we were both chosen to have seizures for a reason.  For the record 180,000 people a year are diagnosed.  Wow!
                  In my opinion I think schools need some training.  Mom had to have a special meeting at the school to specially the types of seizures I had and what to do.  But anyway if you are interested in helping me organize this event,  send me a message on face book.  I hope I can get some friends to support me in this as well as family.  Wish me luck.
