Change and growth are things that happen to all of us. One essential thing my stroke has taught me is that we should expect and value these things. For me, change was quite abrupt and fierce when I had my stroke on November 10, 2005. In the hospital for 2 months, not able to speak for 1 month, and now 9 years later, I am still unable to walk. But my mind is sharp (probably sharper than before), I can talk (albeit quieter), I work a full schedule, and am involved with several fitness and outdoor pursuits – Pilates, adaptive skiing, kayaking, and horseback riding. I am grateful every day to live a rich life.The growth comes with the change, and every day I am wiser and more aware of the world around me.
I have great support from family and friends. I consider myself a gimp – grateful, inspired, motivated, and positive. Onward! Embodies my attitude that every day will be a great day and that I will accomplish something new. Real Life with Geoff Babb from Morgan Johnson on Vimeo. |
