I have been feeling very anxious wanting to start physical therapy and move on from this accident . Yet I keep replaying he only memory I have from my accident over and over in my mind. I want to know what happene but everyone keeps telling me it's a blessing that you don't remember . Yet I still try and do not succeed . I see so many people much worse than myself weather it's from an accident , loss of a loved one, or a disease that they had no control over . I feel guilty for complaint about my minor issues compared to theirs .
My thoughts are all over the place feeling anxious , angry, thankful, and guilty. It's this time of the night that I can not get to sleep thinking of all the things I still need to take care of . Making sure I said I love you to thoes in my life, wondering what if I had not missed my turn would I be here now like this?
As I lay here watching my handsome boyfriend and beautiful little brother sleep so peacefully that I wonder what they think about , have I been considering how this is effecting them ? So many thoughts , so many things runningn through my mind I just want all this to be over .. I want to resume my life .
I was told if have good days and bad but I guess maybe I was in denial assuming no way I'm alive I won't have bad days. I find myself praying more often not asking god to do something for me , but to share his strength with me , share it with my family . I must admit before his accident I had sort of lost touch with god . Getting so caught up in my own life and things going on that I failed to approximate the fact that I am alive , that I can see and smell and speak when so many others can not.
So my post for tonight I just want to thank god instead of asking him to do something for me . Thank him for allowing me to continue on in my life , thank him for allowing me to be so fortunate to have food , shelter, and loved ones around. I find myself taking things for granted less and maybe his was the wake up call that I needed. To slow down , appriciate all the rhinhs I have been blessed with this far and learn to be a happier person. To be more kind , paitient, and understanding. I was working so much and worrying so much about how much money I would make and what new things I could buy that I forgot the most important things of all. Things can be replaced people can not. I intend to take this life lesson and go on in my life treasuring every moment that I am blessed with to be able to spend with my family and friends.
I took this picture with my brother today, and in sharing this and his story with my new friend Elinor and her family I realized just how luck we are. So I want to thank you personally Elinor for teaching me that I should enjoy life and live every moment to the fullest !
My dear Elinor for such a small person you have taught me such a huge lesson. I just wanted to thank you <3

I read your whole blog yesterday (and the last of this post out loud to Elinor). I was amazed at all you've been through and feel a greater appreciation about your situation. So sorry for what you're going through- it has to be so tough and painful. Glad you have your family and Steven there for you to take care of you and help you through it.
ReplyDeleteWhen it gets tough, remember Elinor in her chair, trapped in a body that can't stand up and she can't reach for things either, but she keeps smiling and laughing somehow. Someday, you'll stand up and walk again, and you can do it for her and she'll be smiling for you.
Wow thank you for reading it! Yes knowing Elinors story and struggles makes me appriciate all my accomplishments even more ! I can tell you I will have a greater appreciation whe I can walk .
DeleteYou use the strengths of others to build your internal strength. We all come across people in our lives that make it seem that we dont really have it that bad. We just dont know what the others are going through and they in turn look unto us to help with their strengthening. So trust in your self that you are the kind of woman others look up to. Keep learing each day and god has and will always bless those in your life as long as you truly believe in him. I pray for you in his precious name AMEN. Bless my daughter lord for her life is reconditioning itself and building itself a new. Hope you have a wonderful Sunday!!! I love you!!!!!
