Hi Clark,

You said you don't want comments, I guess I don't follow directions well. I can't help saying that I agree with you about the people who say that their stroke was the best thing that ever happened to them or words to that effect. When I hear that, I keep wondering what kind of a lives did they had before the stroke that it became a 'highlight' or a lightening rod for revelation about their personal strengths or their relationship with a higher power, etc. It makes me sad to hear someone make those kinds of statements about their stroke being a positive force in their lives. I'm happy for them, that they can view it that way, but I'm totally at a loss to understand that mindset.

I saw a quote in a disabilities magazine yesterday: "Don't let your stroke define who you are." This is a much more obtainable goal in my book and it's idea worth blogging about....hummmmm.

clark,

i'm not following directions either. but if you don't want correspondence then you won't be looking for it, so i guess when you DO want correspondence and look for it, by then it won't matter. does that make sense?

anyway, i am still angry about my stroke as well. i agree with what you said in this blog as well. and i agree with jean. i think some people look WAY too far on the bright side!!!!!!!! i guess i am a negative person many times. i can feel your anger and my wish for you is that in time, it dissipates.
