There are some which don't know that I had a situation which landed me within the hospital right after Christmas. When I came out after a near mini stroke, I knew that I had areas of which I would have to hold off on and understand that it would take some time. I don't mind at all in sharing this. It was a time of which I nearly lost some of my cognitive areas. There were two ways in which I could take it. I could be patient and go at my own speed in retaining my health. Or I could have just waivered.
I was the last to think that I would be one that would have something of this sort. I thereafter left obstacles away. Yet at the same time I didn't wish for anyone to pity me. There is malice side to that pity area whereby everyone says, "I hope your well". You tend to feel like you old and everyone can be hit with depression. With the weather the way it was when I arrived home it was cold and I was alone but I want not lonely. The day before all of this happened I was burning the candle at both ends. Even though I knew it was the wrong way to go. But I had this obligation effect with family - especially with family.
I remember writing with my normal writing hand and not being able to write that well. As well there were other things which had hit me but there were some of you which stayed with me. And I do thank you for that. There is power within authenticity and for those whom remember of which there is probably a few. I would go walk in -30 below zero weather. I knew that if I didn't challenge myself I would falter but I did it and on the side I have been writing things - there good things. As well, it's surprising when things get tough how the positive manifestations can happen.
It's not been a perfect ride, but more so a glide and I still have my work cut out for me yet I believed in everything being within cadence. It there was not some synchronicity within my life I would not have found my placement or grounding. I could barely swallow well. I had a team of medical people but I had no means of expression. I was literally on my own. Offline and within life I chose to let my pride down and not care of what people thought of me. As I knew I had to take the time to rekindle some of my neuro areas and if not I am not sure where I would be. I never looked at the negative things but I thought of the positive aspects. And every two weeks I would look back to see what had been accomplished.
Within all of that I know that people can play hoaxes but I truly placed things in a way which was required of me as well as I opted for the good things and the thought I had was for one month after I was out of the hospital that I would start my own memoires. I still have done this but I know that there is still time for more improvement. Today I saw my one doctor and the great thing was in how he illustrated the improvements that I had made as well he has always been a reinforcement. I think we all do need that as human beings we are that of the sort which do need to be around others.
I have had good things which have come my way. And I do count my blessings as this has been a means of communication for me. Not entirely but obviously to an extent. five months ago I never thought I would be jogging. I never thought I would be able to do things on my own but I have. Things are not perfect yet life is within the imperfections and aside of pulling a tendon on my trapazeus which I found out this morning. I have been blessed within the faith I have. To some extent I will mix up my writing but from one that was staggering around for a month within the winter. I have come a long distance without thinking about the distance.
My self esteem is much higher yet not too high. My passions are there much more than there as I do wish to do some thing which yet are realistic. I have met a few ladies but at the same time I know that there is the right time and I don't throw all the eggs within one basket. Actually I am and always have been conservative when it comes to that.
Most of all I know the days, numbers, logic, emotions, and the areas which are within the last or second last step in my neurological recovery of what was a near mini stroke. I pace myself, without too much of a pace now and what I learned from it all is before I had a few very harsh years. Now seemingly I understand that I have a good 35 to 40 years to go within this life here as we know and for those whom have been there during the times of which accepted me when I did a write about what had happened as I was not online for a good five weeks. I wish to thank you. Nothing in life is perfect but I am very content but not too content - as I desire to do that push and for those whom understood and accepted me during this time. I wish to say thank you. I don't talk much about myself as I never was all that self inclined. But yet, I don't drive at night and I am advised not too for one more month so I take pleasure within the simple things.
With all things said, I have seen where people have made remarkes on me without knowing what I had and have been doing. I thought now was a good time to declare what took place and as well where I am at as I literally have done much much more and never wrote about it.
Most of all what I wished to say on this Friday was THANK YOU.
~ As some understood while others never really looked closer but were very critical during a time in which I was walking the mile ~
Jack ... i never thought the ~wish you well thing would be a big thing~ but there is a saying in Filipino that goes liked this ' it is better to say things matter -of-factly to have better understanding of both sides rather than closed off and say nothing.'
ReplyDeleteNow i fully undrestand why sometimes we quarreled, i mean we argue.
By the way, i love to always look back to that walk in winter. And i know you do. And the other, with regards to fishing. You sounds very different in those yet the authenticity and the mannered you sounds there is just so beautiful.
A good Saturday morning from here
I think we all need something to happen to make us realize how wonderfully precious our lives are and to not take them for granted.
ReplyDeleteHave an attitude of gratitude for what we are able to do, not what we can't do... You've got that, Jack! ;-)
you persevered and did well[[hugs]]
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome.
ReplyDeleteFriends are where you find them. Thank you for being mine.
(Now, take good care of yourself! We like having you around!)
Thank you for being so open about what you've gone through. I am inspired by your views and events shared.
ReplyDeleteIt is as it is and friends do have differences but hey I wished to write this and I certainly remember the winter but this one shall not be anywhere of the likes.
ReplyDeletePast vs Presant and Future where we are bound is within where we do try but more so enjoy. Yet that fisherman was not me it was some person in Montreal who never knew the picture lol was taken.
You've chosen a good path.
ReplyDeleteSummer I buy that one big time as often I do believe it does take something and then one has a wake up call.
ReplyDeleteI don't dwell on negatives as I used to nor the infighting that used to take place I enjoy this and of recent the
things that start to take place are something that I believe comes with time. There is nothing entirely perfect
within life but I feel that life is full of what can be and it's all within a process and amazingly seemingly we do
learn as we go on....and the manner in which one does is with regards to their own character.
I still wish to purchase those mountains over there Summers - gotcha.
You have a good week end Jack. I am looking forward to some new pictures
ReplyDeleteCaroline life is a process and you know that and from today I know there is just a little ways more
ReplyDeleteto go but that is all with choice and the intention of this is to extend the gesture of a thank you as
I enjoy things offline and online. I am always with that characteristic of what is next in a good way.
But the write was all in good will and honesty.
You and I were like oil and vinegar till I came to see how well you do write there Will
ReplyDeleteand you are one of a kind with no doubts. You really do create a thought process.
And how different that is now Will. Each person blogs as they wish but you
literally are a profound writer within your own way. How things have changed.
With that I do thank you there William.
Yes I am on here at night and I enjoy it. So I just write and enjoy but I am not as self inclined well yeah
ReplyDeleteI am as I do love to write but I can't begin to tell you how I took life and now I am not uninspired I literally
am captivated not with what I write but within the shares and perhaps inspiration comes at a certain age.
Mind you I never claimed to be any saint. Yet there are a few which do know what happened but I have
held back on writing so much on myself as I believe it's all within a process.
Grammy I have, I believe so and the path of which I walk is one which
ReplyDeleteis not dull there is so much more of which I would love to share. Yet
I don't tend to think this is all with regards to myself. But today was a
benchmark and hence this write.
All in good time Tee. As now I think it's going to be more of writing
ReplyDeletewithin the evening. I have always valued you and if we looked back
one year ago you would say I was very depressed. I probably was
more stressed out with everything and now I feel at ease and I'm
not perfect but ironically you are one of the friends still that are around.
Mind you we reside miles away but regardless of ages, we do have
commonalities and there is something to be said for that.
Every person is different. If the shoe fits then wear it and we all
ReplyDeletecome from different shapes and sizes. Men and women can be
good friends and I do thank you all. The intention is not within
that art of marketing I thought I would write this today as this is
a benchmark for me and it's all too enjoyable. Yet what differs
now is that I am on a path and where it leads is reasonable as well
as I have realized that it's good to age and there are people which
can be trusted so I placed it out there and it's the weekend and
heck it's fun. Mind you by night I can't talk as I still have a few
minor things but y'all have a friend. And within the night nearly every
day now I blog but that shall change within the near future.
But I do thank you. Too cool this is and again I thank you.
Happy TGIF Jack. Love the post
ReplyDeletewell done jack :) tgif :) great to hear all is coming along well. hope your recovery brings you many rewards
ReplyDeleteI knew within this week sometime I was going to post something of
ReplyDeletethis sort Julie and all in all I felt it was right and I one more month
and I think the next pages begins but it's me and I have more fun
on here but I know that there are other things in life as well.
And I will tell you when you start back at something and then
come on here it's different and enjoyable most of all it's Friday.
So that is the way it is and what is is rather good.
Thanks Cinn and it's all been coming around and when one
ReplyDeletecan benchmark the progress and there friends which have been there
I literally love this - it beats television.
The only real concern or health matter now is that of my speech.
So it's enjoyable and the rewards I find are that of ones own making.
When you can measure your progress and have others which do
see it that is when you have raised the bar to another level. As
I have always been on that has thrived in doing things and I don't think
that shall ever change. Your proof of that yourself in your own way.
Yet the manner that I see it is that we all have our own endeavours and
I thought of this after this review today as I have always been one
that thrives on doing and I don't get all caught up in things as I used too.
As I did before and (ok jacko stop).
Thanks Cinn and as well to your other half.
Glad to see that you are on the road to recovery Jack.
ReplyDeleteThe road is nearly finished Rodney and thank you.
ReplyDeleteI do remember what you went through right after Christmas Jack. You have come a long way. I'm proud of you! Continue that road ahead, and never look back. Get that tendon feeling better too. I enjoy reading about what your up to, my friend to the North. Have a pleasant weekend :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Theresa I kid you not while I was heading to an office today I met a person on the road from NY state. Not kidding and he is an economic advisor and that was a mind blower as he was from Rochester. Small world and yet a long drive!
ReplyDelete"life is within the imperfections "
ReplyDeleteyou are wise Jack and I am so glad to be your friend
Likewise. As I don't get so deep within everything but yesterday I did think I would write this as it is authentic and there are no perfects within life.
ReplyDelete( I don't wish this to be a preach ) - but as the saying goes no perfecto est perfecto. If we all were perfect we would all be exactly the same and
the cadence of life would be left to no mas - nothing. I am glad to be your friend. It's just there you know. Within spanish it's called "yo se".
