If you are an out door enthusiast, yes this is for you, always, every time. If not well then you should try it sometime it can be an amazing experience. I am or I would fit in that bracket every time , in my previous life-my life before my accident.
I am now on the road less traveled but it isn’t from choice and it isn’t a camping trip I am on or about to embark on. This is my life, this is me, my journey from now, which is where I am right now in my life to tomorrow is my road less travelled. Most days I wake up as if it is the first day of my life. No memory of yesterday, its called short-term memory loss. The other issue I have is my loss of long-term memory. I lost most of my memory of my life, including raising my kids, my marriage, my then wife and my parents. All gone, start again.
I used to post on my previous blog “mybrokenbrain.co.za” every day but 3yrs ago I lost myself somewhere and now I am starting to collect all the little bits and pieces and place me back together. Now I am stronger and can get through each month easier but I still have a brain injury. Still I have memory issues, still I struggle but i am alive and i love life.
This post is a trial run to check if it actually loads. I have struggled for many weeks to restart a blog, everything I tried I failed but with Bronwen, my beautiful woman I know everything will be okay. She is here to help get the pieces back where they belong and in so my writing can restart. One day soon I will release my second book. All my writing is related to getting up from being knocked down. We all fall at some stage in our lives but we just have to try harder each day to get up and re-start.
It doesn’t take a brain injury to be broken it can come from many different forms and ways. I can write and I enjoy writing so I will write. You read and together we can enjoy or perhaps gain something from a guy that fell hard but is back and ready for tomorrow.
I am one of the lucky ones that walked away from death. Not only lucky about the fact that nearly died I also met up with an old friend, an old love so now here we are, many years later, both of us carry scars from life. It is okay because we are happy and that is all that I care for, mine and my beautiful woman Bronwen’s happiness.
When you think it is getting too difficult or too hard…it’s never hard enough.
