I walked in my door just now and thought to myself that it has been exactly 2 years that I have lived in this house. Then I remembered that it was only a couple months after moving in that I had a stroke (and that as weird)... But I came back from it and have regained 95% of my speech. Unfortunately my reading, writing and comprehension skills did not come back so great and arent expected to. But Im here! Then I really stuggled with panic, anxiety and agoraphobia (which Ive had since I was a very young child). I tend to stay close to or in my home or studio with my birds and paints. But I have become much more strong in my surroundings and less afraid of living outside of my house because I know that know matter what happens or how uncomfortable I feel, Ill be fine. Then this surgery on my neck/spine (UGH) has really turned out to be much more of a difficult recovery than I had ever imagined. Im so used to bouncing back from things with little or no effort. But this has been CRAPPY. Yet Im recovering and walking and getting stronger and definitely see the light at the end of the tunnel. And all of this whilst getting closed on this house (which is now a home). And that was absolute stress. Life can get really rough.... For All Of Us. But Im gonna keep pushing harder than ever. So 2 years in this place and many struggles. But I wouldnt be here right now if it wasnt for a handful of amazing, brilliant and compassionate people. So I must give out the BIG SHOUTS to: Billy Joe Jones, Dr. Davies (my shrink), Dr. Finn (my surgeon) Jen Dostert Velasquez, Jennifer Johnson and Ray Saysno. MORE BIG SHOUTS to my realtor John Stegner (and his brother Tim) - AND the worlds most amazing and innovative mortgage broker Jen Mericle Senior Mortgage Banker. She is amazing. Dont close on a house in Colorado without her. BIG LOVE to my birds and of course Tootie-Lynn. And also to so many of my friends here online and on Facebook. Some of whom Ive never met in person and might never have that chance. You are all brilliant and inspirational and make me laugh (which is so important). I am surrounded with so much love that I dont even know how to accept it or return it correctly. My cup runneth over. And heres to another 2 years (and then some). p*
