Was it a stroke of luck?“You’re lucky.” It’s a phrase I’ve heard often since my stroke—lucky to have my sight, lucky to have avoided more severe deficits, and lucky to be here.
I don’t feel lucky about what happened. But I do feel grounded in gratitude for the path of healing I’m on, for the people walking beside me, and for the ways this experience continues to shape how I see myself and the world. This blog is where I make sense of that journey in real time—through story, reflection, and the quiet work of rebuilding. |

Chapter 3: Healing
Day 18: How do you show up for yourself during hard times? Showing up for myself in hard times is almost automatic at this point. When faced with adversity the first thing I do is stop to assess the situation. I look for firm ground in which to steady myself and I think about the next steps. It's always about what's next and not hanging out too long near the issue, problem, pain, etc. That moment is used to understand and acknowledge. I show up in the ways that help me decide to move forward. You do choose that. |
