hey bud :

you have real great positive attitude, you are really inspiring me with your positive outlook, I hope to get that strength and not dwell in my negatives of not able to use my left hand yet

life is grand if viewed with gratitude

BILL,

FOR SOME REASON, "ANNIVERSARIES", ( MONTHLY, YEARLY) OF MY STROKE ARE KINDA PAINFUL. I AM ALWAYS THINKING ......" WHAT IF THIS OR WHAT IF THAT, WHAT IF WE HADN'T BEEN DRIVING HOME AT NIGHT, WHAT IF THAT LOGGER HAD NOTICED THE LOG WE HIT ROLL OFF HIS TRUCK, WHAT IF I HAD HAD THE SENSE TO GRAB THE DASH OR SOMETHING RATHER THAN HIT MY HEAD, ETC.........

I WONDER IF THAT TRUCK DRIVER ****KNEW**** THAT LOG ROLLED OFF HIS TRUCK AND DIDN'T CARE IT WAS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. DOES HE EVEN CARE? I DOUBT HE EVEN KNOWS. THAT'S JUST WHAT GOES THROUGH MY MIND A GOOD BIT.

YOU HAVE A GREAT ATTITUDE AND ARE SO PLEASANT. BELIEVE ME, MANY OF US ARE STILL WORKING AT "ACCEPTANCE". I KEEP THINKING I HAVE, AND THEN BOOM, I HAVE A TEMPER TRANTRUM OF ANGER WHICH ***USED TO BE**** SO UNCHARACTERISTIC OF MY BEHAVIOUR. MINE WAS 12-03. I WANT SO SO SO SO MUCH TO "ACCEPT" AND MOVE ON, AND WHILE I HAVE "MOVED ON", OH BOY HAVE I, I HAVE TO ADMIT I HAVE NOT ACCEPTED IT YET.

MAYBE ONE DAY.

MY THOUGHTS ARE WITH YA FRIEND

KIM
