We deal with stroke, the best we are able, we are not alone

There is so much to say, so much to share about this state we find ourselves in.

Here’s another blog post that I choose to share with you here.

Please comment, or discuss, if you find anything relevant, or need to say something.
This is a little bit about me, a little bit about us all.

My thanks go to those who have liked or clapped my efforts. This is the measure by which I assess my worth.

It was suggested I try substack - another platform.
I dunno, just dunno.

I hope, anyhow, to continue to be able to appear here at the Stroke Association.

Take care and

keep on keepin’ on

“Important, valuable, relevant.
Broken, useless, rejected”

There is a lot within your blog. I picked the above out as i would hope that everyone feels important, valuable and relevant most of the time and less broken, useless & rejected. Although I think i have felt all of those at some point & not necessarily because of my stroke.

I tend to feel more useless when I go out and about & see the elderly population leave me standing at the side of the road whilst they’ve scooted off up the road. At home I don’t notice it so much.

Am I broken…possibly but I perhaps see it more as being a bit wonky.

And of course I could have completely missed the point (it’s been a tough day at work).

But keep going I always enjoy reading your prose.

I feel that even if it’s broken there is a use in there somewhere,
maybe as a stop to hold the door open?
waste nothing
in one way or another everything is fit for recycling.
not for the recycle bin, I hasten to add,
that’s just an attempt to hide a problem.

keep on keepin’ on

it all comes
and goes

And comes back yet again

I’m sure we all experience the positives and the negatives as we find our way. We don’t have to do anything but it helps to simply be aware of the movement through the ups and downs.

I like the colony idea. Maybe we should all move to the Blasket Islands. :grinning:

I had to explore the land of Wikipedia before I discovered the Islands of Blasket.
