Valentine's Day is Almost Here...
Valentine's Day is just around the corner. Do you know you what you're getting your sweetheart yet? Can't go wrong with fresh flowers. But it online and get it fresh!
To make a very long story short, when I turned 47 years old I was greeted with the shock of a lifetime. I suffered from a massive stroke that most believed was unrecoverable. Everybody thought I was going to die. Today, I am still in the process of reconstructing my life and slowly learning to accept what my life is now and that what was will never be again. I feel a loss in my relationships and I realize that those losses are merely just changes. I am still Tara, and I still have as much if not more good things to offer this world. My life before the stroke was what some might describe as CandyLand. A Husband, beautiful children, and a successful career. The physical limitations that the stroke left me with are daily challenges that I could never have foreseen. I am always working toward improved vision, mobility, and pain management which is my lot, my struggle and seemingly constant companion. In my blog I am also happy to have referenced the bible on several occasions.
