For me today begins the start of another week. Mondays seem to be a catch up day for me. I go to a staff meeting on Monday mornings and review the past week and see what needs await us this week. This along with various other activities make Mondays a busy yet exciting day. Today I celebrate the fact that I can work and be involved in life. I guess I am in a festive mood because it has been one week since my dad’s stroke and he seems to be responding positively each day. His body is responding with movement and his speech is slowly coming back. In my opinion his mind is gaining clarity and focus. So, today I rejoice that I am healthy and able to work and that my dad is gaining strength each day. That worthy of a shout or two.
I wish that life did not cause us to struggle. There are many moments that come our way that we may not enjoy but they do provide some depth to our lives. My dad’s stroke is not something I would wish on anyone but it has caused me to look at life through a different lens which has forced me to examine many aspects of living. It has in fact caused me to float some praises up toward heaven for all I have. I hope I can continue to see life as a great gift.
