just a thought...
stumbled upon this today
and found it to fit perfectly
with what i am feeling within
yesterday was 1 year ago that i ended up in the hospital
the last year was one heck of a journey
one in which i would have never thought i'd venture down
but through all that had happened
i think it helped
shed light on
a new way of thinking
a different way of living
opened up doors i would not have reached for
uncovered & revealed
feelings that remained untouched or hidden
allowed me to explore
gave me time to delve deeper into my soul
so today i am thankful for the journey
that brought me to where i am today

I agree! Even though things are still hard, I am thankful for the lessons.
There is purpose in all things...
How else do we know when things are smooth....there unfortunately has to be a few bumps and unexpected turns in the road....
I love your positive way of embracing change and clarity of thought....you are brave :)
I always say, 'without the darkness, there could be no light.' Glad you are back and feeling better.

Very well said. The universe works in mysterious ways, that's for sure. 42. I certainly could not have predicted what would happen in my life, and it seems that strange coincidences were hidden blessings. I am very glad you have made a recovery from your hospital scare. Thank goodness.
Here's to silver linings.
some never learn all there is from the opportunities that come their way... you on the other hand embraced it and allowed what it wanted to show you.... so glad to hear that you are in such a good place... but then I never really thought you wouldn't be... blessings
I had what I thought (and the doctors thought and really still don't know) a stroke in 2009. Within 1 week of coming home from the hospital it was like I was seeing my life through new eyes. I packed up my house and moved my family back to my home state....my home....my family....my heart. It was a terribly scary thing that catapulted that change, but either way, I'm ecstatic I'm where I am right now.
On another note, I hope your health is good and you have good doctors.
sorrow has touched our lives again today -- in a distant way but still there is such sadness for B and I -- and it reminds me of the beauty and the light that i have in my life every single day. and for all of it i am so deeply, deeply grateful.
i'm so glad you are here.

Powerful words, because, they are true.
I am surely not where I thought I would be, where I wanted to be, nonetheless here I am.
I am happy and thankful being me.

I believe that in Buddhist philosophy, illness is one of the Gates of Wisdom that can lead to Enlightenment. Clearly it has been that for you.
I cannot believe it was a year ago. You have been through so very much, and I am grateful that you are here with us and in a much healthier state. I hope that you continue to heal in the coming year.
