December Is Just Over The Hill

Well it's almost that time of the year again, December, years later, and I am still here doing the best I can without complaining about anything today.... I shall see how December goes while I try not to complain since I am still a blessed survivor to be here.... Thanks for your many, many prayers folks, I really appreciate them as they touch my heart and lift me up a bit more every day I experience being here as a survivor this many years after the stroke....

 

I guess we as people can get down on ourselves and must understand life has not ended because we get down because everyone does every now and then... We are only Human and don't have all the answers out there.... Life is precious and we try to live it as best we can and no one knows their last day in their right mind especially stroke Survivors whom have lost so much over the years dealing with a stroke or strokes.... We all need care providers by our sides and probably couldn't make the trip without them by our sides in life.....

 

So again I thank all of you that responded to my last blog with tons of encouragements as I have managed to hold myself together by the grace of God in my life.... I will say from my experience that a stroke is one of the hardest things to overcome and survive even more than losing a friend or a very close family member like a mom, dad, brother or sister when you are real young in life or at any time for that matter....

 

In my opinion at times you feel you just can't go any farther in life but somehow you gather more strength and trust in the Lord to make it through another time period in your life..... It doesn't get any easier but in a way you understand more about the season you face....

 

Say a prayer for the people in Paris whom lost so many lives so fast and senselessly for no reason... Somehow I feel the people responsible for this massacre will be dealt with by God in due time.... He see and knows All.....

Fred, we all do our best, we work, we build, we raise families.  We just seem to be getting it all together and then life trips us up again.  Of course we also age and then maybe our health is a problem.  You have survived a lot in your life, stroke complicates that  perhaps but that has to be dealt with as best we can too. Thanks for expressing what a lot of us feel.

Fred,

Thank you for finding your voice and sharing all of this. It nailed how I feel many times. I go through a yoyo of feelings from gratitude to struggling to face another day.

This Thanksgiving I thank God for this website and all of you for helping me journal through my gift of life.
