hey AJ:

great list, with so many positives in your life, don't you wonder sometime why we still complain. when I started blogging, I had also made list of 10 things my stroke gave me. I could go on with positives things my stroke gave me it completly outweigh negative points.

I am glad you are taking on this exercises it's great way towards acceptance, those are few things which I did helped me a lot It made me see myself in whole new light.

Asha and AJ,

You two have hit on the one of the hardest things for some people post-stroke to see.....it's the old "the glass is half full" rather than the glass being half empty way of looking at life that was hotly debated on the message board a year back in several threads. In my opinion, those of us who have looked at life this way pre-stroke (counting our blessings, so to speak) have an easier time with the whole acceptance part of post-stroke life.

Hi AJ,

I think I'd like an appointment, not to find the positives in my life but to discuss all the positives in my life post stroke.

This was a great blog entry and it is great that you are able to find the positives that are still in your life. You are going to become a huge inspiration around here.
