Starting Over

Starting over is where I'm at! What should I do when I grow up? LOL. I closed a door last month and now I am setting out to find happiness and begin again. Stroke took so much yet it's teaching me so much along the way to recovery. Every day is a new and I am determined to make the best of it. I have my not so great moments but I am working hard to push pass them and keep my head up. Right now I am focused on my new chapter that I'm looking to begin. Change is hard, it's scary to be honest and when you have had has much taken from you it's hard to believe that starting over is even an option. I know though it is the ONLY option! So now I'm enjoying my boys, taking in all those life moments that are sweet but mundane to many and looking along the way to what is next. I've realized I have many great people in my life that love me as Stacy, not just pre-stroke Stacy, they don't expect or need me to be a certain way. I'm loved for who I am!! I'm harder on myself than anyone else and I'm thankful to those people who have loved me and cared for me even when I haven't been so cheerful, when I'm weepy or complaining or just plain not well. Love is shown is so many ways and I'm so much more appreciative now of the little things. I've been brought to a place I didn't know existed but I am determined to have learned something from it and become a better person. So as I journey through STARTING OVER I'm learning to be thankful and appreciative for the now. My new beginning will start when god thinks I'm ready so until then I keep carrying on being thankful for today and mindful that tomorrow brings a new day and anything could happen! ANYTHING!
