Vid Game related: Super Mario Bros. My Grandparents bough an NES for the grand kids to play when they came over and I was the first one to try it out. Mario blew my mind and I was addicted to games ever since Super Mario World My mom rented me an SNES when it came out and it as soon as I turned it on and saw the opening sequence to SMW I was blown away by the jump in graphics Final Fantasy II / IV I rented and beat Turtles in Time in one sitting so I went back to the store and they let me exchange it for another game ... I saw Final Fantasy II and decided to try it out. My love affair with RPGs started that day In general I'm thankful that I'm healthy for the most part. I suffered a concussion about 9 months ago and while some symptoms still linger I can tell that I am finally starting to get better. The headaches, dizziness, anxiety, and depression were almost unbearable at first, however, I have learned to adapt, was able to keep working full time, and most importantly, realize that I'm very lucky compared to many others and feeling sorry for myself was getting me nowhere. Taking the time to realize that I'm lucky in that I can hear, see, have all my limbs, a stable job, a loving wife, family, and friends have really helped so I'd say that's what I'm thankful for. Edit: This Ted talk was very inspirational and helped me with my recovery. I highly recommend to anyone who is going through any sort of health issue. http://www.ted.com/talks/jane_mcgonigal_the_game_that_can_give_you_10_extra_years_of_life.html |
