I can let of go of my past self- the person who thought that they were invincible. I need to let go of the bad attitude I’ve been carrying around on my back. I need to let go of my anxiety- that people will love me as I am.
My lifelong recovery as a 27 year old who suffered a carodid dissection; having a stroke- needing surgery to have a stent put in- all due to a car accident where I was a passenger on December 17th.

My lifelong recovery as a 27 year old who suffered a carodid dissection; having a stroke- needing surgery to have a stent put in- all due to a car accident where I was a passenger on December 17th. I have to get over the idea that my life has changed dramatically and will likely never be the same; I need to get over my past self- and all I can think of is how lucky I am to be alive and to have all major functions. I will have to get passed the trauma of trusting other people as a driver. I will also face issues with having to take blood thinners- and any future surgeries I will need. I have to face the fear of having a second stroke everyday.

I give with the intention to make someone’s day special and meaningful. Giving is in my nature. Everyday I plan to do at least one act of kindness.

Decreasing stress by developing healthy mechanisms like meditation or taking up a relaxing hobby. Learning to live in the moment. Appreciate what I have. Ultimately I believe that happiness is key. A happy person is a healthy person!
Children can teach us many things about joy! When we learn new skills or challenge ourselves as well as experience success many things occur including joy. Children also serve as a reminder for us to appreciate the little things in life and that each moment is valuable and precious. Joy is very difficult to explain but to children, it is something that they experience daily and I think us adults could learn from that.
Today was beautiful and sunny day. I spent the morning having coffee with my sister and some friends out on the deck. In the afternoon I went to the gym for a brisk walk on the treadmill with a friend. My friend just started a free trial at the same gym that I go to and I was showing her the ropes. I guess we ended up teaching each other confidence at the gym. We were both shy about going alone so it made us both more comfortable going together. We supported each other and that’s one of...
Today was beautiful and sunny day. I spent the morning having coffee with my sister and some friends out on the deck. In the afternoon I went to the gym for a brisk walk on the treadmill with a friend. My friend just started a free trial at the same gym that I go to and I was showing her the ropes.

We supported each other and that’s one of life’s lessons.
I like this very much! Well said 🙂
That’s often a struggle for me because I am also passionate about politics. Best to keep them seperate I agree. My dad is horrible for believing conspiracies.
