I was thinking today while we were taking a drive to the country, how many times I have taken this drive and not seen half of what I saw today. Why you may ask? Before I was always talking or singing to the radio with my husband. With no talking it is amazing what you hear or what you see. I don't dream about the old life I had, I just want some kind of life now.. Breathing doesn't mean you are living, not to me, not anymore. Walking and going thru the motions doesn't mean living either. Enjoying your days and nights--is living. Loving every moment you have and enjoying that moment is living. While some maybe most want what they had back,,,that will never happen, I just want something worth waking up for...Not just a heartbeat..I would love to be able to feel my lips, so I could kiss my husband or my grandkids.. I would love to be able to talk to them and tell them things that I feel. This to me is what LIFE is all about. I don't dream of what I used to be, for I still am that.. I am still me,,,with some adjustments. I will take everyday as it comes to me. For I am praying that one day I will talk again, not like I used to, but I will talk.. The lips, well, those I won't feel, a loss for sure..Just thought I would tell ya'll about my dreams...They are for a better tomorrow than I had yesterday.. Always Vicki Lynn

Vikki - I know exactly what you mean. Do you also find that the simpler things in life seem ever more precious?

Some days I feel more strongly than usual that my time becomes shorter, which of course is tre.

Each day I wake up I thank God for granting me even more time.

Hi Vicki & Pikeman, I too see alot more around me than I used to
There is a lovely garden up the road to sit in and I have walked past in many time to the tube and never noticed it!
Its does make you thankful your here today but even then it can be a very hard day to cope with
