I don't know how you do it. How you convey so much in so few words. The unmooredness of it all. It's beautiful. I'm so sorry for what happened. And I so appreciate that for all you've lost, you're here, and still a bright light.

A good lesson for everyone is: perseverance is the hard work you do after the hard work you’ve already done. That should be a poster in every school, every gym every business office and every home. Great words today. Thank you.

J, your comment about perseverance is truly inspirational! It is completely true. Each of us has his or her own

path to tread toward becoming what we have been created to

be, and your masterful description of your recovery from a severe traumatic brain injury does inspire, encourage, and uplift us, your very fortunate readers.

I appreciate the inside story told by the traumatized brain. Humor remains that is hopeful.
