Bonnie,

I feel the same as you. Here is a safe place to open up. As a child our closets were full of skeletons and things that were just not discussed. Denial to the max - life was not perfect that's for sure.

Granted we are not in a perfect world but here we can open up and reflect on how we're feeling and even what we're fearing.

God Bless Steve for giving us Strokenetwork. God Bless our cyber family.

great blog Bonnie...

bonnie,

thank you again for putting your thoughts into words. i too was taught that the proper reply to most questions were i'm fine, it's fine, we are fine etc - no matter what we were feeling. one positive aspect of my stroke has been learning about my feelings and realizing they are okay.they are just part of who i am. this site is a haven for sharing our most positive hopes and feelings as well as our fears, anger and sadness. it is all safe and accepted here -what a gift - thanks kathy

Bonnie:

thanks again, I realized atleast on this site you can tell what you are feeling, and it's okay to be not happy all the time.

I am so glad you are sharing your wisdom with all of us which we all need from time to time.

Asha
