5th year anniversary

Yesterday was a bittersweet day for me, my 5th year stroke anniversary. Yes, I have physical issues and yes, I have cognitive issues that both keep me from from doing what I loved, but I’m here. And I love that I’m here. 

I’m so thankful for family, friends and medical personnel for helping me, us, through my stroke. I like to think, “fake it until you make it even if you don’t.” I’ll continue to improve even if it’s super small. I’ll never give up because I have this opportunity to be here.  

Yes, life is different than expected, but hey “life, like a river, will cut a new path whenever it meets an obstacle.” Everyday is a new, challenging adventure.
