hey stan : I loved website and like your playful attitude towards life, you are hell of a fighter just like some of us here(Ahem Ahem) Asha

Clarke: you are lucky to have such wonderful supportive collegues, I used to read your blogs and think poor him, no one cares about him, but its not true, there ae s many caring and understanding people you work with, with all these economy, minute you don't perform, you are out, where as your company is quite supportive of you, you must be quite valued employee. good luck and try to look at positive sides of life, start simply by writing gratitude journal, it forces you to look at the positive side of your life, we all have to deal with our hand of game life has given us, we can choose to do crying or being happy Asha

hey Amy: congratulations for getting new shoes, I m still getting sneakers, since I still wear my AFO heels can give footache so flats r best. you go conquer world Asha

Janice: isn't technology wonderful, acqutance of ours also kept daily journals of her hubby's treatment on web, rather than talking on phone and going over again and again, it was written very nicely looked like written straight from heart, you are doing great job holding your stern family together good luck and best wishes Asha

Amy: there will be lot of games where you will be able to tape her again, hopefully lesson learnt Asha

stan: you are enticing me to start our fireplace, I have resistance to it, since never once we have turned on our fireplace, Asha

bonnie: if that was you with fog on, how nice person you will be now, I loved you and ur comments on life evebn before ur antidepressant not working, I m envious that John is ripping all benefits of you and not us Asha

Bonnie: very glad you are feeling great again, it makes you realise isn't life wonderful with what you have and you can still do so much with your limitation. happy for u Asha

Pam: don't expect too much out of him, I think he just wants friend with whom he can share his ordeal and friend who is able to understand it what he went through his brain tumor and stuff, maybe eventually it could turn out to be more than just friends, but I m sure right now that's his intentions, keep us posted , your life is never boring, something is always going on. Asha

hey Ruthie: congratulations on your achievement, I agree with Bonnie after a time going up becomes much more easier than coming down, we have installed railing on our stairways, I m still afriad to try coming down without holding and and with reciprocating, though I agree with my hubby its not worth the risk not holding cause I have made big hole in our wall once, congratulations to your daugther and you on her 13 birthday, actually we mom re more scared of teen years than they are Asha

Amy: 78 degree wow u r crazy, yesterday we went and got electric heaters for our bedroom, but even with that hubby won't let me turn on, he says we will turn on when temp are really low, and in 50s isn't low enough for him, oh how I love and hate that guy if you are planning to keep 78 degree in your house can I come and stay over at your place, I don't mind winter as long as its I m warm enough. Asha

hey Amy: that's great, you are giving idas to hallmark card industry, ots great idea, if I copy your idea will I have to give royaty to you?, I will make mother son day, I m sure you 2 are going to hve ton of fun together. have wonderful weekend Asha

Janice : you both are corageous people, I hate it when people says this to me, I m amazed how you are dealing with situation, but God hasn't ask u to go through tria, it has ask you for this trial and he will give proper ammunition to get it throug tool, I greatly believe God never gives you more than you can cope, hang in there, you all r in my prayers. hugs and kisses to u both Asha

hey Amy: I bet it will turn out good, sometime my son and I make brownies together, but lately have cut down on those, since he started calling me fat lady Asha

hey MM: is this what I have to look forward to when kids grow up Asha(mom of 8 yr old boy)

Kim: don't listen to negative comments doctor said, In rehab they were forcing me to walk with cane and I had kept my vigil saying I will never walk with cane and I will go home without cane though I came home with cane but I never used it, even in bathroom they were teaching me how to transfer by holding, I insisted on not using anything. I think for leg atleast I think things come faster since we use it a lot Asha

hey Mary: I m from India and moved in US for good, I from time to time feel bad about wasting so much food, clothes, toys in US. do you think ourkidsappreciate us more for material things we give them, I think love matters most to them and being there in their adversity is worth more than any materialstic things, I feel guilty even asking anything from God when we have so much other things in abundance,I know our kids just want love from us, not money, how many kids of rich parents have you seen doing well, I think we as parent show them right path and education, its their destiny to make it good or bad of theur future Asha

Bonnie: we all are allowed to have melt down once in a while, but remember that you also have lot of good days, its wonderful to have loving and supportive husband. you got to believe and have faith that this downhill ride will get over, and later ride will be only upwards. love Asha

hey phyllis: In real estate market things get ppraised differently, maybe you got better deal then those people who paid 45k more, so be happy u got great deal instead of worrying. In real estate market no price is right, you only need 1 desparate buyer, I have seen that hapening in our case itself for 2 years we were looking for house and finally paid 50k above the market price, we were worried for little while, but now when we look back and connect dots, I think we did great decision, we love our house, and prices have appreciated handsomely over past 3 yrs Asha

Mom &Pam: I m no expert on relationship, but I know you have to do some adjustments for anyone you live with, and it is always give and take in relationship, ok that's my 2 cents. Asha

hey Amy: that's great news, I tend to agree with you for me also first 6 months were very hard, my son's new year and focused in his work has kept me more content this year, I m happy to be mommy than Asha, you r one brave survivor who always looks at bright side of every one. congratulations for doing so good Asha

hey Bonnie: its great idea, could you do pictures of your cookbook and post it if possible, Its neat idea, I should try to sale that idea in my family I m happy you enjoyed it Asha

Stan: that's great idea, people just recovering from aftermath of stroke will feel better and realise there is life after stroke and its not so bad either Asha
