I was cooking small pieces of chicken in a frying pan tonight and suddenly had a memory. My mom used to make chicken nuggets. One summer weekend, when Nate was four or five, we had a large number of extended family over. Several aunts, uncles and cousins were seated around the dining room table. We had chicken nuggets.
Nate was a very easy going kid with a contagious laugh. He didn't call much attention to himself and went with whatever his older siblings were doing. That night, however, Nate suddenly made an announcement, a way of saying "hey I'm here, look at me." Instead of eating his chicken nuggets, he started putting them on his head.
Cousins were laughing hysterically. Nate, clearly enjoying himself, put more chicken nuggets on his head. Now the adults were laughing. Mom was trying to get the grease out of his hair. Nate was grinning at his own spark of spontaneity.
A good memory, made me smile (:

Epilepsy
A couple of years a go I heard “Bring me to Life” on the radio by Evanescence and was introduced to a great singer Amy Lee and a great band. I really liked this song and I had to get “Fallen” (albums name). I remember listing to it down on vacation in Virginia Beach. “The Open Door” is the name of there new album, coming out two years ago, never getting the live album “Anywhere but Home”. The Open Door is another great album and I believe Amy lee wrote all the songs by her self this time. Checking the webpage www.evanescence.com I notice something I wanted to check out.
Epilepsy is her Foundation found under Community on the webpage. Reading all of Understanding Epilepsy I now know what it is. “Effecting about 2.7 million people have it and nearly 181,000 are diagnosed every year”. I gave you pretty much the line from the Understanding Epilepsy page; visit the webpage to learn more. There is two links one at the bottom where it says this webpage is presenting by and at the end of the Understanding Epilepsy article. Out of the shadows is the name of it because people don’t know what it is, maybe this will help.
