I paint as part of my art therapy and this is such a beautiful tag. I'm not sure how many race tracks I can get to but I have some friends who have a race car team.
Today is my 6 year Brainaversary. I hot my brain injury 2/23/2020. I planned on getting closer to home and reflecting on all the things I can do now because I have stayed determined to find a different wat to do some of the things I didn't think I would be able to do anymore. I will stop for a lot of breaks because I am traveling on my own (3 years after injury) with my baby camper (4 years after injury) and I will try and get some geocaches in New counties (started right away with help from friends).
I went for BAMARAMA but I got so much more while I was here. I got to spend time with friends, be outside in warm weather, hear frogs and birds, bike, ride my scooter, climb trees I shouldn't have, find caches I couldn't find last year, even had some quiet rest time when I needed it. One day I used up all my energy at a CITO and it was my favorite event like it is every year, as a group we can make such an impact.
As I am heading home to face months of treatments that will leave me feeling much less able than I have gotten to in my recovery. Monday the 23rd will be 6 years. I will take these memories and experiences as a reminder how much I have been able to do from where I was six years ago. I will miss some megas for a while but I'll see everyone soon.
This years three month trip was shortened to three weeks while I continue to work on my exposure therapy for my brain injury. It will be nice to have time away from the 24/7 sensory overload. As I was getting ready I realized it has been 6 months since my last geocaching road trip in my baby camper where I had a controlled environment. I am super excited that I'm able to do this part of the trip. Of the three month and the 4 mega events, this is the one I didn't want to miss. I was able to push one of the new therapies a week later in order to go. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Geocaching is one of the things I can still do after my brain injury. There are so many interesting people and places with geocaching. It really does help with a lot of things I struggle with, and it has given me the ability to stay more positive.
