About a week ago as I was laying in bed ready to go to sleep for the night and I heard these words from my heart "I love life". I don't think I'm crazy, but my response was excuse me? "I love life". Ummm, What? "I love life". Who are you talking to? "I love life".

So here I am having a one sided conversation in my mind because all I was hearing back was, "I love life". I tried to make excuses, you must me talking to someone else, "I love life". No, I used to love life, "I love life".......no matter what i said back the three words was the response. So I stopped arguing and thought about it.

It seemed so foreign and distant that I would speak or even have a thought of those words. The next morning I woke up and yep the first thing that popped into my head was "I love life". So I thought, well there is only one thing to do. So I started saying them out loud, "I love life". I kept saying it over and over, not just that day but any time I would think of it.

Needless to say I started to feel the meaning of "I love life" and I felt stronger too. Why not love life. I think I had forgotten about that part of who I was before the stroke. Loving life and living to the fullest, most of the time anyway.

I just wanted to write this here so I won't forget it and come back and read it if I need to. I hope no one thinks I'm wacked but hey, it's helped a lot and I'm on my way to loving life again.
