6/3/24

 Happy Monday. My Monday was jam packed like it always is. I had my 3 hours of meetings. I had a hair appointment to color the old out of my roots.

Avery came home for a surprise visit. We did a quick lap around the field with the dogs. They love it. We chatted away. Who am I kidding? I loved it. She is moving along nicely in her research project. She did some “grocery shopping” in our cupboards.

I was excited because half of my couch cushion covers arrived. I started to put them on. They are soft and cozy. They seem to stay put for now. What a thing to get excited about.

 I saw a video of the kid, Jacob, who had a heart transplant and a stroke so bad that he lost use of the left side of his body. It was the most favorite part of my day. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t think about him. He just received a portion of his skull back about 10 days ago. Today he was walking out of the hospital. He had a can and a significant limp but he was WALKING! It made my day. 

I know we all struggle with things on a day to day basis. This kid is a tank, headed forward. I have the general conversation with people everyday. “How are you today?” 

Imagine the person that is struggling to walk or dealing with the after effects from a traumatic brain injury/stroke. We were once in those shoes and I don’t want to return there. How do they answer that questing?
