Friends:

Hello, my Friends,

    I hope everyone is having a good day; or a good day when you see this post. I have been looking for new friends (I have many good ones); and it is hard to start new relationships. I try and talk to people, and it seems as nothing is going right. I feel like when I stand in groups or start to have a conversation with someone, I get shorter, all my challenges are shown in my face, and I'm not welcome. Although I'm great at talking and interacting with others, I have my tough times.

   Some of my friends play video games. Although I don't, I watch people play. I do this because there are a lot of people who would rather play video games than real sports. I'm not saying it's bad to play video games, in some areas they could be less dangerous than real sports.  But in these video games, hardcore players play, people will spend time and effort working on their character. My point is, when you spend time on things you because better at it, just like a video game.

   I was born a right hander, and some of the things I do, I notice I use my left hand for somethings. I'm this way because my mother is ambidextrous, and I received some of this gift. Well, to honor my father and my mother, I decided I would learn how to become ambidextrous. I have been working on it for around six months. I wear my watch on my right wrist, I lead with my left foot when walking and running, and talk with my left hand; I also, write, use the computer mouse, and brush my teeth with my left hand; I even comb my hair to the left. My point is just like in video games when you spend enough time on something you become better at it, and acquire new traits to the skills.

  As I try to talk to others and try to improve on my talents and the hidden skills within each of them, I become better. Those moments which are stale because of repetition, lack of effort, or just not looking good, go away and are replaced with fresh ones. I noticed this in myself as I talk with others. And even though times are tough some times. I see the power of deliverance within myself!

Thank you very much,
Christopher Monson
