Thanks, everyone, all of you, for the past year of kindness, outreach, checking-in, follow-up.

It was a year ago yesterday that I was in the car crash. I went back through the history machine and somewhat maudlinly re-read posts here, facebook, emails.

I know a longterm effect of traumatic brain injury is to be prone to wild and somewhat juvenile mood/emotion swings. But I am just so sad sometimes. I feel tremendous fortune, great gratitude. I have been loved and cared for. We survived a terribly tough stretch of financial and medical hardship, and have come out the other side in great peace and comfort.

So I shoulder the sweeps of sorrowful emotion, and I come back to happiness and gratitude. I'm doing OK, it's just low moments.

Next week, we are flying out to spend the 4th of July with my daughter and granddaughter. That makes me giddy.

Be safe everyone, and be kind to one another. Be happy, and know that you are valuable, wonderful, and good!
