  • I'm finally understanding that almost everything that happens in my life is God's will and my job is to get with the program and work with it, not try to turn it into what I think it should be.

My friend suggested I write a gratitude list. I try to take suggestions. I decided to do it here because I spend lots of time here, I can review it frequently and I can add to it as appropriate.

great list, and great friend who suggested to you, I too initially when feeling low about my life post stroke and realized I still have lot to be thankful for, sometimes when we are midst of it we don't realize how some great things still exist in our life. It's wonderful to see you are surrounded by great family and friends you can still count on.

Have a very Merry Christmas and wonderful New year
