Jay :

thanks for your kind words. today is new day & after listening to malala on my super soul sunday series I m going to choose courage over my fear of unknowns & whatifs, and be excited for opportunities  change might  bring in our life.

Asha

yvonne :

wow you hav been through so much in this past 6 week with your parents. I am so glad you are handling all these so maturely. alzeimer sucks I hope & pray you kids stick together & help dad out. I am amazed by great healthcare system of England. you & your family will be in my prayers.

Asha

Pam :

great news. you are warrior. ofcourse sooner or later you will win. persistence always pays up. again this reminds me there are brick walls in life they are there to remind us how badly you want something in life. I am glad you fought tooth & nail for what you wanted. enjoy ur friend & new room. Happy New year.

Asha

Jay :

I am so happy that you are into that serene state of acceptance & not resisting the way it is now. I feel once in that phase its easy to accept your new normal & be happy again. enjoy your second chance to fullest.

Asha

Pam :

now with your right disability benefits you can resolve next problems in life.

Asha

Praying for you Pam. pray that move happens for you so you are ready to accept this new chapter in your life & start rebuilding satisfactory new normal.

Asha

Jay :

you are indeed blessing. I so agree with you & affirmed by research feels good to know. you know I had amazing support of my family after stroke, but I still felt very alone in my journey I thought no one can understand what I am going through. till I found this support group, this support group literally got me off the ledge I was ready to jump off from. No wonder I am still around here on this site after 11+ years. Now its pay it forward time for me.

Asha

Jay :

Merry Christmas & have happy holidays. stroke has given us another great chance of appreciating life to its fullest. Its nice to see great traditions are followed by our children. which makes us realize we raised our children well.

Asha

Jay :

its blessing to read your upbeat positive blogs every day. Enjoy your day to fullest.

Asha

Katrina :

good to hear from you & I m glad you are doing well got new job & dog.  I think you should also watch oprah's super soul sunday either on her channel OWN or watch it online. It is quite healing. for me spiritual books & reading has been my antidepressant for last decade or so & ofcourse now I enjoy & love my new normal.

Asha

Pam :

I think its always us then others, when we try to change circumstances our roommates other things, its more that we don't like situation we are placed in, so trying to fault in everybody else then looking inside & seeing what is bothering us more. post stroke I realized happiness is a choice  & since so much is taken out of our control we fight over little things we have control over, and take out on people who are still in there in our life.

Asha

Scott :

I love love your blog it took me atleast year to grieve over my losses, but like you now I m appreciating & enjoying life to fullest. love your sense of humor.

Asha

Jay

That's such true and nice quote. Good food for thought

Asha

Colleen :

I am so sorry you are going through another darkness period they say its always too fark before dawn. we just have to hold on the hope that sun will come out. Usually when you are going through dark period its very hard to believe that something better going to come out of this ordeal, but you got to believe & be strong for both of you. who knows that Mike will end p getting more rehab due to this injury & will recover better than before. I love the idea of Pam. you need to connect with your daughter & celebrate her wedding in your own personal small party.  I know when I was going through dark phase in my own life my hubby's words that keep your head above water & hold on little longer, things will change  & you will get through this. nothing lasts forever good times or bad times. all is in our attitude. will keep you & your family in my prayers

Asha

Jay

Don't worry it will be nothing just routine check up to see how much u have improved sending you positive vibes

Asha

Fred :

will be praying for you & your family to find good solution for your daughter.reading Beckys comment makes you realize as a parent we don't have much control over our kids actions. We can guide them & be there for them but at the end it will be their choices in life which creates their own destiny. Hope she learnt that valuable lesson in life & now will choose wisely.

Asha

Sue :

welcome back home we missed you around here. I have learnt that lesson when you step out of your comfort zone there is always growth that occurs & usually something very good better than I had imagined comes out of it. I have realized now that just by trusting those nudges & acting on it something good always comes out, and then I wonder was that god's wink or what.
