And though some of the earlier "happiness" has abated, there's an abiding sense that life just isn't as -- I don't know, maybe serious -- as it once seemed. It may just be a matter of the stroke's having put some things of less significance in perspective. Whatever, the name is perfect, the blog is wonderful, you are amazing!

Unfortunately this lasted for only about a year. I'm meditating again to try to turn off the little voice in my head. People who have enough brains cells with nothing better to do than keep up a running commentary on what's happening are not as happy.Rebecca Duttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09004104301521792927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2520456258844139120.post-85232284119407439802012-11-23T20:29:11.504-05:002012-11-23T20:29:11.504-05:00Grace, This is such a straight to the heart descri...Grace, This is such a straight to the heart description of the way it was, when your stroke happened. A massive stroke is never a "happy" event, but there was a certain way in which yours could be described as "happy." I think it's just lovely that you've pulled this out, so other stroke survivors can look at it, think about it, feel better about it. love, MumDoctor Gradushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13955108849184549824noreply@blogger.com
