Happy Mothers day Everyone. hope every one celebrated  mothers day in their own special way. I did too, I feel so grateful & blessed to have wonderful son & hubby who made sure that they follow my orders on what I want to do on mothers day :). and we all had great time together.  We went to see great Indian movie & I  also feel same way how lead role character tells  his son to do when he dies, whistle instead of crying when  he is  gone, that's what I am telling my family too, I m telling my family to do the same, whistle with joy that I lived my life with full of joy.

I am thankful for this stroke also which gave me second chance to enjoy my family  and this world with complete different perspective. I am grateful for all new opportunities, friends, books I have encountered post stroke which has made the person I am today.  life is great  once again with full of meaning & joy, nothing I do any more today without appreciating the fact that I feel so lucky to be able to do simple things in life. who would have thought doing home chores & going to bathroom without audience can bring so much joy in one's life, I agree so much with Diana Nyad who says when things gets tough in life you have to find a way. I do feel with supportive family & my own initiative I have found a way to appreciate all days. Since I have seen in my own life after dreadful day sun eventually comes out, it  is just behind those clouds, all I have to do till then, is  just keep my head above water & not drown myself in self pity.
