Anniversary

Well, with it being October 4th this is my calendar anniversary date but it actually occurred Thursday evening a year ago. It was at this time last year, I had a beautiful view of the mountains from my hospital window!

I was admitted to the hospital in order to undergo further tests where it was revealed I had a "minor" stroke. If you can call a stroke "minor!" I spent the next 4 days in the hospital hooked up to an IV and undergoing tests. With a MRI, the neurologist found a minor blood clot in the upper left hand corner of my frontal lobe. For a few minutes on Thursday evening, I could not put together words longer than a syllable. I could think the thoughts but could not express them.

Through the grace of God and the prayers of my friends, I am where I am today. It is truly amazing! I am truly blessed. I don't know what more to say other than to think about the goodness of God! He is truly amazing! His love amazes me!

I think a lot more now about life and family and how precious each of those are. Jesus reminds me through incidents like this just how precious each and every one of us is.
