The special Thanksgiving message for stroke people.

 The special Thanksgiving message for stroke people.





A stroke is like a black cloud in our lives

Light of Positivity and Hope never stops shining!

 

My name is Andrzej, and I am a stroke survivor.


At the beginning, I couldn't talk at all. That does improve. I was able to say a single word over the phone. I don't know how many people could understand what I was saying, yet that was my first success, all I had that day.

Still, writing or typing has been impossible. Being lucky, I could understand what people were writing, but the only way to answer was by phone. It was a very annoying and challenging situation.

I have lost a lot of words and the ability to understand and write proper English.

Luckily, technology rescues me.

I have learned about the dictation function on my computer and started an experiment. First, I must speak into the microphone, and I've been trying to understand what I'm saying. Between my unclear pronunciation and missing many words, it took longer to learn and produce the first quarter of a page. 

I couldn't remember and understand the rules of writing, so I must find another solution. So, I found a program that corrects my writing.
Not easy work, but I don't know any better. Yes, it takes a good part of the year to learn, practice, and use that, yet I can write by myself, a significant step forward on my way to recovery.
That is part of my story. I would gladly hear yours. We could exchange uniqueness.
I published this on Thanksgiving Day as a message for those in a similar situation. 

My voice is -          Stay strong! 
 Never give up, there is always a chance! Andrzej

This a great chance to notice that nature is calling us to slow down, stay warm, spare life energy, and  enjoy the season. A big part of our life energy is busy maintaining body temperature and immunity  to keep us well. No wonder, another part of the winter experience is a lack of energy. What to do about it? Well, stay warm and comfortable.  Gather your family around the fireplace and  spend good day together. Appreciate how smart and grown the kids are. When was the last day home  in  your busy schedule? Eat food which makes you energizing, I believe every one of us now  how to create  and appreciate  comfort .

  Sculptor     There was a huge rock, somewhere in the country huge enough too content a whole horse inside. And indeed, the beautiful horse was there living its life inside. All tired from loneliness. And, desperate to find a freedom, and companions. And there is a sculptor. Gifted with his hands, and intuition, able to see a Horse trapped in a rock. Able to free it yet so soft hearted. “Chipping out the pieces will cause so much pain to the Horse. Do I have a right to help him to break free knowing how much pain is involved?”   And the Horse inside thought; “I know it will be painful process to became whom I really am”. Am I ready to accept the price?   May be if they talk, they will find a common way . ............ Andrzej,s  Qigong  embrace all  physical, intellectual and emotional  aspects of life .
