today is a good day…
The past few days have been good days. I’ve been to the chirorpractor and got some acupuncture, shopping, to a support group. But, the weather was fantastic. With the warmth and the sun it reminded me that spring will soon be here. It seems that things are starting to look up for me. That I can see the light at the end of the tunnel (not sure if its the headlamp of an oncoming train or not). Basically Im feeling more content and more hopefull. Nothing familiar in my life – my job, driving, living on my own – is back, but I’m starting to figure out ways that I can move in that direction. I still have the hope that things will turn out as I had planned, and you know, I’ve had time to examine me – the real me, not the me based on my career – and that examination has made me not like the “old me” very much. With all of the changes I’m having to get used to and to deal with, I still wouldn’t go back to my life a year ago because there are so many things about it that I don’t like. So many things that I did then, that I would never do now, that I don’t like. So, I guess I’m glad that I have the opporunity to examine myself and to be the person that I want to be, that I can be a person that I’m proud of. I really don’t like how much mental skill I’ve lost, but I don’t like the emotional skill and baggage that I was carrying around before my TBI. so…today is a brand new day! Thank the Lord. I’m here to enjoy it and all of the gifts it brings!
