Early in the dating years with my wife I bought Carl’s Jr. (Fast Food,) brought it to my house, lit some candles and invited her over. Candle light dinner! That was over twenty-five years ago.
Fast forward today, our kids set up a reenactment of that dinner.

Through this process of healing I have been learning a lot. Learning to slow down. Learning to take small steps forward. A step forward is a step forward.

When I first got the energy and ability to walk, it was only for short bits. My calves are the first part of my leg that would start to lock up. I found that stretches before and after helped a lot.

More gratitude!
While I was in my wheelchair I tried to get as much sun as I could. Thankful for the sun
And most of the time I had a cup of cacao with amazing herbal mushrooms (Lion’s Mane especially, because it helps so much with nerve damage.)

I know I keep saying this, but finding gratitude in the small things (to me) are equal, if not greater, than being grateful for the big things. Really, I strive to find gratitude in all things.
In the picture, I’m relaxing in the sun. Gratitude for the sun’s warmth, light and energy. It truly feeds life and healing.

I’ve had a few beards over the years, yet I typically keep a shaved face. I thought maybe I’d shave.
This was a big workout for me. The hand-eye coordination took a lot of focus and I forgot about all the funny faces I make to get the harder spots.

It is amazing to notice something that normally is so simple and unthought of, now takes much thought and effort.
I am grateful for the progress I’m making.
My physical therapist said, “In order to become a good walker, you must first be a good stander.”

Taking lots of breaks has been a big part of my life over the last 5-10 years. Before that I worked till I couldn’t.
Now I am on extreme break mode. The recovery from this has been exhausting. Doing the simplest things are big workouts
