Although I am not the person I wanted to be I learned that I am who I am is getting who I am enjoying. After I had my stroke I lost my ablitity to focus on my education ... working at the store has work well for me. I began to study the career of my choice. Unfortunately that did work out for ... but life goes on. My life did not end ... instead it contunited on & I learned different things.

With the job that I have now, I have learned to adapt to dealing department stores. I occasionally get to be "manager" when the others aren't schedule to for that time. Which isn't too bad, I can handle it ... I also agreed to that. I still have training that I need to learn but that is fine. We do a bit here & there ... & find that I adapt to this rather quickly. As long as I repeat the info a a bit & keep the info in the notebook, I do amazingly well.

There are times when I don't know what I am doing but at least I am honest about it. I am willing to ask about it. The paper work is one thing that is going to be interesting, as I have done it once ... so it will be slightely familiar but not enough that I can sit & do it one my own.

All in all I know life never goes as we want it to ... at first, I was angry over having my stroke. Then I accepted the fact that what happened to me physically changed me but not in a complete negative way. Yes it took things away but it also gave me a new look on life.

Gotta run ... have to deal with my kids!!!!
