If you happen to be new around here, you may not have guessed it but I am a stroke survivor.  Today’s blog post title I credit to Jill Bolte Taylor who chose to draw insight from her stroke in a remarkable way.  I think it’s always important to stop and reflect on where your life has taken you because it often gives you a deeper appreciation of life itself.  Five years ago, on 21 May 2014, I had a stroke while at work and it was a day that changed my life forever.  If you’d like to learn a little bit more about what actually happened and about my recovery process, you can read this blog post and watch this video where I discuss that in more detail.  Today, however, I thought I’d reflect on the journey over the past 5 years, what I have learnt from my experience and how it has impacted my everyday life.
