I am thankful that I can answer people who ask me, "how are you doing?", with my usual statement of " I am alive".

I realize that my injury could have been more than it was, and it didn't evolve to that level.

I realize that, in its own fashion, I am in a recovery mode, on its own track.

I realize that my brain is in charge of this recovery, and I have to do nothing but listen, and work within the confines of what I can as far as it allows for me to try.

I realize I am living, and have my loved one(s) close as needed, and they are with me for any support I may need.

I realize that we have also got each other here on these forums to reach out to as a huge support machine, to encourage each other when times are rough, and no one else can really grasp some of what we are going through.

Thank you all.

Best Wishes
