I am so glad & relieved you are ok. you need to relax & let go of feeling of resentment of your ex going on cruise with his girlfriend. he is your ex for a reason & allowed to have happiness in his life again like you do. I know it is sometimes hard to detach ourselves from people we loved once. but time to forgive & forget & move on remembering best is yet to come

Asha

Fred :

can't believe year is almost coming to end & Christmas is already here. stores have started playing beautiful Christmas songs which makes you feel happy & go shopping. I guess we both stroked around same time, soon it will be 13 years for me too. I find my life more meaningful & beautiful post stroke. I guess life is great when u r not in pain. being young survivor has its own pros and cons.

Asha

Hi Fred :

Happy Holidays & enjoy your football games & thankgiving holidays, will be keeping you & your wife in my thoughts & prayers. I never enjoy shopiing I go & buy things when I need something or see some good deals, but never like to rush for shopping cause its bargain, never enjoyed that thing even pre stroke. Sometime I feel like guy since idea of my fun is spendng time & playing with family.

I am so sorry for your loss, but happy that you all have surrounded your aunt & have given her support in her time of need. I am glad you made it to gravesite with help o friends & family, who cares if it wasn't pretty or easy, but great thing to see it got accomplished. usually people are so much helpful than we think in our head. I believe in accomplishing job & it does not matter  how it gets ccomplished

I so agree with Sue. what goes around comes around that applies to kindness, niceness you have shown to others in your life. I feel you are one deserving soul for all happiness in life.

grab the opportunity & work as walmart greeter, if it involves no major work then getting out of house & meeting new people every day will bring joy in your life back. We all need something to look forward to in the morning. So go for it.

Pam :

I will be praying for your grandson &your family. please update us regularly about how he us doing.

Asha

Tracy :

don't worry about it. you have ordered it & its going to get delivered.don't get attached to things it brigs in disappointments. just go with flow in life. When we tightly try to hold  things or control it creates unnecessary anxiety in life. Thats the biggest lesson I learnt. after stroke. ifcourse from time to time I forget that golden teaching but now I can always recenter myself whenever I slip into old habits

Asha

Fred :

that's the spirit. God helps the person who helps himself. I am glad you are getting out of the hime & doing therapy, its only going to help & not hurt. I m sure you will be able to get lot more out of this.

Asha

Tracy ::

I am so happy for you. your vacation looks very relaxing & beautiful. glad you had great time with your family.
