Last thursday i was invited to talk and have fun with a group of people from a neighbouring area. It was the first time i've done a presentation since my stroke in 2004. Before my stroke i was confident in public speaking having been president of my Lions club and doing presentations through work.

I was able to give the group a 10 min presentation on my history, my stroke, how it has affected me and my family and were i'm going to in the future.

Well i'm pleased to say that they have invited me back and join the group, they meet monthly and have guest speakers, a topic for the day, and general chit chat.

It was a great afternoon and my speech therapist was really pleased how well i went. We may even be able to get a group started up in my area.

Unfortunately the cold weather has started and i now hate the cold, i'm glad we don't get snow. give me summer/spring anytime.

have a good week
