I'M A LIST-MAKER. EVEN MORSO NOW, BECAUSE A LIST SPEAKS 4 ME, IS MY EYES INTO A CONTAINER, & PROVIDES CLEARER ASSISSTANCE 4 ME.

BUT, I HAVE AVOIDED TYPING THIS SUGGESTED LIST, SINCE EVERY PRO HAS 1 OR MORE CONS, & I DIDN'T WANT A REMINDER OF THE CONS. BUT I HAVE LEARNED, AS A JOURNAL WRITER, THAT THE ONES THAT STICK, ARE THE 1'S THAT I TAKE TIME 2 TYPE, & I PREFER THE PROS 2 STICK , SO I LEARN THE PROS & KEEP THE PROS MENTALITY.

NOTICE THE LIST SHOWS WHY A STROJE WAS BENEFICIAL 2 ME—IT'D BE A WHOLE DIFFERENT LIST IF I SAID THE BLESSINGS I'VE RECEIVED EVER SINCE MY DIAGNOSIS 2 "JUST BLINK."

I USUALLY AVOID POSTING ON A TEARFUL DAY, SO I GUESS, THIS LIST IS MORE 4 ME 2 REVIEW THE LIST ON THOSE DAYS. BUT SINCE I AM OVER-DUE 2 POST, RATHER THAN TYPE A POST IN ADDITION 2 MY EVER-GROWING LIST (STARTED 12/26/07), THIS'LL NEED 2 SUFFICE (HERE'S A VERY SMALL TASTE):

BLESSINGS FROM A STROKE

"When you are grateful, fear disappears and abundance appears." – Anthony Robbins
1. HANDICAPPED PARKING IN A BUSY LOT, ALLOWS MY ENTIRE FAM. 2 PARK UP FRONT
2. U R TREATED LIKE ROYALTY (U R FED, POTTIED, SHOWERED, ETC.)
3. GREAT DIET: U R FORCED 2 NOT SNACK. & IF U R LUCKY, U DON'T FEEL HUNGER & CAN SKIP OR DELAY MEALS EASIER
4. I CAN TALK W/A FULL MOUTH
5. I GET BIG CREEN TVS & A BIG SCREEN COMP. MONITER
6. WHAT MOM CAN PULL 3 ELEMENTARY-AGED KIDS IN A WAGON, AT ONCE, & NOT GET TIRED?
7. IT'S GREAT IF I CAN REACH 2 PICK MY NOSE
8. DON'T I STAY 30 YRS. OLD, SINCE I HAVEN'T BLOWN OUT B-DAY CANDLES, EVER SINCE I WAS 30?
9. I AM HILARIOUS, ACCORDING 2 ME & MY HEAD
10. I USED 2 FIGHT FOR AN HR. OR 2, TO BE ALONE IN MY DAY—EVEN COORDINATED NAPS & 2 ALLOW 4 IT & HAD QUIET TIME WHEN THEY R 2 OLD 4 NAPS–NOW I CAN HAVE THOSE 1-2 HRS. ALONE EASILY!
11. THERE IS A BEAUTY IN COMMUNICATING STRICTLY W/EMAIL—UNLIKE PHONE CALLS, U R NEVER INTERRUPTED & CAN RETURN THE MESSAGE WHEN IT'S CONVENIENT 4 ME!
12. DIGITAL SCRAPBOOKING BECAME BIG AROUND THE SAME TIME, & RATHER THAN DABLE, I WAS FORCED INTO IT, & LOVE IT!
