Gratitude post
Added 2022-10-30 04:00:50 +0000 UTCWow, I didn't realize I recorded this at 1:11 PM.! Gratitude shifts everything so that all the little divine synchronicity's shine so bright and make you forget the trials and tribulations of life with a high-level spinal cord injury.
I got to hold a little dog today for the first time in two years. The last dog I ever held was my dog latte at Harborview in Seattle during rehab there. He didn't really recognize me because I was on a very loud ventilator and could only talk when they put the cuff on my tracheostomy down. Today, this little dog, click on the attachments for pictures below, named sassy, give me kisses all over my face and cuddled up in my warm jacket. I felt so happy in that moment. It made me realize that even as a quadriplegic I'm still the same old me. Happy dogs are still the main thing keeping me going.
I'm actually excited for my future as I write this. That's pretty miraculous considering how depressed I had been feeling and unproductive… I'm enjoying sharing with you and please share any thoughts on what I can improve…
Much love,
e
