On a clear day...

Today is my first granddaughters 11th birthday.  This marks the first birthday I have not been with her in her entire young life.  She, her mother, and brother are on Maui.  Due to my heath and finances it may be quite some time before I see them face to face.  However, a dear friend came to my emotional rescue and asked me to get on Skype to help her study for her board certification exam.  I mentored Shanda through her entire masters degree in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).  I think this is one of my strongest assets: mentoring.  So, rather than dwelling in my pity pot, I am now reading up on the next section she needs to go over with me.  AH....life is good, my brain is still active, and I can see clearly that my skills as a behavior analyst are still strong.  Don't count me out just yet.  I may write that book yet....  an incredible life or cultivating pearls (more on this later).    Thank you Shanda for keeping me involved during my recovery process.  
Recovery from stroke requires:  a good friend that has confidence in you.
