Happy Birthday To Me

 

 

Today is my 71st birthday! Yes, even though I am much older, nevertheless it is such a pleasant time for me with all of the greetings that come from family and friends. I cannot ask for anything better. 

However, that really is not the main reason why today is such a great day for me. In reality, the truth is that my life is coming back to "normal" now after experiencing such a major illness that completely wiped me out for a long time. Much of the harshness of overcoming from the horrible pressures I had after I left the hospital last year is disappearing now from me. 

I really was worried for such a long period of time that I might not recover well. Not many really knew how well I could do or how long it would take. Everyone was hopeful, but there were no guarantees. However, what my medical team have done for me has been spectacular. They really made excellent decisions and made sure I was being cared for in the best possible way and I am so appreciative of their efforts to date. 

I expect, in reality, that I probably wrote too many articles about my "medical matters" since I started writing again on here. Personal issues are not something that I normally write about. Most knew me as the political lawyer blogger and activist for our city, but as you know now, there is more to me than just those labels. By writing so much about myself, it helped me feel better. This was very therapeutic and I recommend for others to be open and share their feelings.  

I have already made significant steps to change my life, so I am just continuing to eat well, exercise, and enjoy life as much as I can.  I'm just so pleased that I have been able to tell you so much about what I have accomplished to date. I really don't think I need to tell you very much more about it other than when I achieve some other major accomplishments.  

Thank you, dear reader, for reading my articles and giving me encouragement. It truly means the world to me!
