STILLRECOVERING

it's been almost a year plus since my stroke and my recovery has slowed down and I still have the same problems with my left side being weaker and my left hand is numb still but what I miss the most is the ability to sing. I used to be able to sing just about anything in choirs and choral groups and for some years I was a professional jazz singer but now I can't even do a simple do re mi. It has something to do with my breathing. I still try and I practice breathing exercises every day and I work my hand and walk for the most part with a simple cane and sometimes even without help. But as I say the thing that escapes me is why I can't sing. I was told that I was lucky that my kind of stroke usually recovers fully in six months well obviously that is not quite true. Have you had a stroke? Do you have questions the doctors can't answer so do I. I know they are not God and sometimes they don't know when you ask them about this or that and what you can expect to happen how long will it be, etc. etc. I belong to a stroke organization that is online but even they have not been able to tell me what I can expect and how long my recovery will take. If you have any insights to any of this, would you be so kind as to share them with me.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!

new poem, time goes by so swiftly

Time goes by so swiftly there's little time left for dreaming the time has come to put dreams into reality but reality can be so cruel I must go forward into that dark night and find the answers to my quest and fulfill my place who am I, what am I what part of the world is my part where do I fit always the dreamer hoping life would be something else yet here am I looking in the mirror, I see the same me the same eyes looking back but the cover, I called my face is not my face anymore life and children have carved their place upon the surface I never liked the cover anyway but now I like it even less oh to be young again and wiser if ever I could wish for anything, it would not be beauty but wisdom the wisdom to know what dream to follow, what dream to abandon the wisdom to know when to persevere and when to let go the wisdom to cherish the ones you love, not things the life we throw away each day so sure there will be another so precious god’s gift to us yes time goes by so swiftly I entered this poem some time ago to one of those internet poetry contests, of course they want me to order a book to see my poem published but maybe it's a winner, would be nice. supposedly I am SEMI=FINALIST BUT I won't hold my breath. I already have my poetry in a couple of other contest books I bought, hehehe

EARRINGS

My daughter, Jenn, bought me a starter kit for making earrings. It was so kind of her to give me something to work my left hand with, that has been so numb and basically useless since my stroke. It only took me all day to do these , so I don't expect I will become wealthy doing this, but it is great fun hahaha

I AM CONCERNED

something is wrong with the way things seem to be happening in the country these days, do you feel it too? a mayor has decided we need his help to lose weight, and another mayor has decided we need to watch our language in public, before you know it, we will see them goose stepping down the street! America needs help, not sanctions on our rights and freedoms to live as citizens!

DID YOU VOTE I think many California ballots will not be counted because of the last step. if you failed to click the final step your vote will be invalid and will not go through.I was aware that several senior citizens failed to click the final step and walked away blithely thinking they had voted.
