“I like owls. I admire their intransigent spirit. I have respected them deeply ever since I met a baby owl in a wood, when it fell over dead, apparently from sheer temper, because I dared to approach it. It defied me first, and then died. I have never forgotten the horror and shame I experienced when that soft fluffy thing (towards which I had nothing but the most humanitarian motives) fell dead from rage at my feet.” FirstsSpiritFeetBabyMetsHorrorApproachDiedShameForgottenWoodsHumanitarianRageAdmireMotiveTemperSheerOwlFluffy Author:Vita Sackville-West
“When Martha first met me, I was anxious and jumpy. I was always tapping my foot, rocking, or exhibiting some other behavioral aberration. Of course, now we know that's just normal Aspergian behavior, but back then other people thought it was weird, so of course I did, too. One day, for some reason, she decided to try petting my arm, and I immediately stopped rocking and fidgeting. The result was so dramatic, she never stopped. It didn't take long for me to realize the calming effect, too. I like being petted and scratched. "Can you pet me?" I say when I sit next to her.” PeopleKnowsTryingFirstsLongReasonCoursesNextRealizingResultsFeetEffectsArmsMetsOne DayBehaviorNormalDecidedDramaticPetAnxiousCalmingTappingAberrationFidgetingCalming Effect Author:John Elder Robison

Losing 14 pounds out of necessity in order to live a healthier life is a huge victory. I'm a petite person to begin with, so the idea of my losing this amount of weight is utter lunacy.
