It was a simple act, but I think I really needed to make the Top Moments of 2010 list. Reminds me of how blessed I am. I originally was going to make a Top 10 list, then because I couldn't make one that narrow decided to do Top 20. I have still been coming up with things since then too. Life is good when you have trouble counting all your blessings.
It is taking some time to get used to what all has changed in my life. But I really didn't lost the things that are important. Still have God, my family, my friends, and my mind (I have to say that one because a lot of brain injured people aren't quite so lucky). This whole experience has actually brought me closer to God and my family so, in a way, it is a blessing.
Sometimes, we need a little something to happen to nudge us in the right direction in life...Guess I just needed a little more. With the new year, I don't really have any concrete resolutions, but I want to use this year (and the ones after) serving God and helping people. If there was any reminder to stay focused, I think losing peripheral vision is a good one--focus on what is in front of you and don't be distracted.
It has taken me a while, 7-8 months, but I am ready to move forward with my life. I have spent too much time feeling sorry for myself, getting mentally and emotionally used to what I have to live with, and also doing the needed recovery things; I feel like my life kind of halted. Now, I am ready to kick start it. Don't treat me like a helpless child; don't feel sorry for me--This is me! God has great plans for me. Watch out world!
