Renaissance means rebirth

 Renaissance means rebirth

(instead of “injury anniversary”)

Nov. 13^th 2020 was my 1^st stroke, so one year later I was celebrating it as my 1^st anniversary.  I commented to a group about it and added that I was celebrating that I was still around.

In a class for ABI (Acquired Brain Injury) one of the students said they used “Renaissance” instead of anniversary because it means “rebirth.”  That clued me in to rethink about it in a new way.  I could re-think of my life as its rebirth, a way of going on and growing toward something new.

There are so many new opportunities ahead as I look forward.  I am seeing so much as possibilities I can grab onto.  We can see so much renewed, if only we’re open to such ways.

The problem-free world is not in our future, so the challenges will be what we face frequently.  It is not “if” we will fall/fail, but ‘when”.  So picking ourselves up, and how we’ll respond is the key.

We have so much potential ahead of us as well as encouraging support around that builds us up to accomplish greatness.  Each step can add hope into our life, with togetherness of God (Father, Son & Holy Spirit) & God’s family.  We are blessed in so many ways.
