Suddenly.

Suddenly, I find myself:

Suddenly, I feel… I honestly don’t know. I felt fantastic and proud of myself for working hard. Was working wmu Speech Therapist and found myself perturbed because I couldn’t put together EASY words

Crap!

I can’t use my right arm!!

I can’t drive a car!

I don’t have any money!

I…

Think I’ll go watch something funny. I am bummed out and have NO idea why…hhhmmm? Do you know?

Traveling the world…in my mind.

I love, love, love watching Asian cooking shows on YouTube! Chinese,Japanese, Korean etc makes no difference to me

Currently, I an wending my way through China. I would love to try some of the delicious looking udon noodles and some chicken tempura!

I’m slowly regaining my footing, pun intended…lol

I’m ready to see what this old life has in store. Who wants to come with me? Let’s see how much trouble we can get into gastronomically?

Milestones do NOT have to be tombstones.

Today mark’s six months since I had my massive stroke.

Yes, beloveds, it IS a marker. A life changing event that changed my life. FOREVER. I am no longer the same. I no longer sound the same. My facial features have also shifted. I can’t move my right hand.

I fight with a body that wants to betray me, on the daily.

Yet, that moment was NOT my tombstone. I am still here. I am STILL me. Life did not end. I can still thrive.

Yes, beloveds, there are a million things that I can no longer do. I may never do some of them.

My milestone is not my tombstone. Your milestone does not have to define or end you.

You, alone, decides how your story ends. Or, begins…lol

I miss being able to type. I am going to teach myself to type left handed.

I am going to attempt many things. Surely,I shall fall/fail, from time to time.

I am ready to shoot for other milestones. I have no idea what lies in store for me. Or, you.

Let’s do this together, eh?

Let’s endeavour to stop turning milestones into tombstones. Let the dead bury the dead. We’ve got too much living and too many thangs to do!

Speaking while I still can .

Forgive me, beloveds. I have to speak whilst pain is resting.

I stopped by to encourage someone to use his/her/their voice as none of us knows when life, er, a stroke will silence you.

Use your voice. Pursue your dreams. How long will you hold yourself back? You can do so much more than you give yourself credit for.

Speak!

LOVE!

LIVE!!!

What are you waiting for!!?

Moving differently. Moving forward. Are you?

Beloveds I am:

Moving differently.

Moving forward.

Moving!

Are you:

Moving differently?

Moving forward?

Moving?

If so, keep:

Stepping up.

Showing out!

If not, why not?

Begin again.

Again.

One more ‘gain!

Step up. Branch out. Spread your wings and soar. How high? How far. God knows but He’s not telling. Get out there and find out!!

Your ending is not THE/YOUR end.

Hear this, beloveds, just because you had an ending doesn’t mean it’s the end of/for you.

Things change. Life happens As, it should. As, it must.

Still, know you do not have to lament that which has ended. ALL things have their end.

Try not to spend too much time in the land of regret. The thing happened. Grieve, if you must. Cry, as your heart asks. Then, rise, beloveds. Get ready for the next steps.

You may have to retrace your steps. Alas, you may be required to blaze a new path! Rejoice when hard comes for you. For, you begin to carve out a new path. Your path.

New journeys awaits us all the time. Which way shall you go. Enjoy EVERY STEP. Ah, God, what do we do with us now?
