So these stories in my book will tell you two important things. The first 4 Chapters represent my "Attention Span" these days. The 5th Chapter represents my fingers and how I learn to "count again". This new life of having a Stroke teaches me daily "its not being brave until I am afraid" as I learned what concrete and grass feels like when I fall on them...again.

For the first 3 months I couldnt speak a word to just uttering complete gibberish to those listening. They told me I had the "Mother Of All Strokes"... on a floor for 20+ hours before being found. And once found the doctors said it would be a "true miracle" if I woke up out of the coma.

But by being "OPTIMISTIC" you are giving yourself a chance. It could be for any reason and you will decide that.

I tried but was not successful as I wanted to be. But this "failure was awesome" because first I learned about myself and the added bonus is..."I tried".

Fears, doubts, worry and other things can come into our minds in those moments. And with those things present we can start building a fortress around them. Where we not only believe them...but hold on to those emotions and feelings long term.

We can be cured by walking with God and seeking his help on a daily basis. So that you have a chance to embrace your "dis·a·bil·i·ty" too. Will you today.

I have been told that I have a great laugh. One that makes people smile...no matter how they are feeling. Its because its genuine and authentic. And if were laughing it must really be funny.

Occasionally its good to just checking in with yourself. To see where you are and how you a feeling. I did it this morning by riding my bike. To just feel and reflect all the "emotions of my coming back".

Yes we all can complain. It is our nature and what we do. But when you find a solution to put into practice...you resolve the complaint. I can resolve my complaint with 3 simple words..."I LOVE YOU". So when you complain today...think about how much we have in life to be thankful for first.

So it was on me...to help him. I told him what a great job he and they were doing. It was the truth. I would not lie to him.

We ask questions to get clarity, for information and to engage the person thoughtfully. So why doesn't everybody ask questions first of each other. It would eliminate a lot of confusion. More importantly it would give us answers from the "horses mouth".

You see his "desires" for me allows me be "full because Im not dining alone... Allowing me to FOCUS on changing my "i" to "we".
