Thursday 9 July 2015.....so.

I know this may come as a surprise to some people. I had a stroke. I am in a wheelchair. I can't reach very far or lift very much. I wish someone would have told me before now. I would have played the sympathy card and maybe it would have worked. I wish someone would tell me these things. 

In case you couldn't tell that last paragraph was meant to be sarcastic. 

The fact is I had a stroke. There is nothing that can reverse that fact. Do I wish it hadn't happened?  Of course. The simple fact is I have an amazing life. I could complain about life all day but what good would that do. People would probably say there's just another angry guy in a wheelchair. What good would that do?

To start I have the most amazing wife that there could ever be. In one word Wow. She is definitely one of a kind. I love you Marcy and want to keep you always. 

We have some amazing kids. They can all be so fun and they are great. 

Our families are a lot of fun. I would say I have got to be the the most boring person in my family or my wife's. Nieces and nephews are all so much fun and keep us all in line. 

I love San Antonio were I live now. I love Utah were I am from, my wife is, and where most of our family are. 

I love working with the Cub Scouts and hope I can do some good with that. 

There is so much that I could say because life and the Lord are so good. 

I could be angry about so many things. Just because I do not talk is not a reason to think that I am mad. You can think whatever you want. I go by the thought from the movie "Bambi". If you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all. I have tried to stay "calm" on several occasions and while I know and even practice what I would like to say. Then everything can go out the window and I can act like the biggest idiot ever. If you want to argue with me when I'm in that state of mind you can but what does that say about you?  

On a different note. I have a lot of stuff and if you want to come over and get anything you are welcome to. My thought is that if someone isn't using it, its not being loved properly. I have no way to use things. I need to find sewing machine pedals to give to my sitter but everything else is up for grabs. Let me know if you want to look or want something. I have set aside everything I want or intend for someone else.
