Gratitude

 Hello it has been awhile, but gladly not my last. I went through a fairly serious accident last month. I learned that I had a fairly big hole in the top of my head, a concussion, and multiple fractures on my right side of my face. I last remember driving to work then waking up in the hospital. I was told I was unconscious for 3 days. 

  I have only recently learned as well from the police that I have somehow had a really good accident. They did not say those words, but I gathered that info from the info they said to me. Most of the passenger side had the most damage, the car crumpled properly to reduce the impact, and my seat belt and air bags did there jobs, and no fire. I hit a full tanker truck so good no fire. They made it sound like to me this accident could have been so much worse, but it was not. I of course still suffer injury's, but they are not the worst type. 

 I got to truly learn how grateful I am that I am here today, and the people I am surrounded with. I got lots of support from lot of friends and family, and I now believe to be so lucky with the fact I got amazing people that support me. I have found a new found appreciation for my parents and my friends. It kinda feels weird, but I feel super happy right now. I am still in pain, but I am looking very hopeful for my future. 

I am truly grateful for my time in kung fu. I was lucky enough to learn how to spot the extraordinary, and how to adapt and overcome, and especially never giving up. I look forward to what new things for me to learn in kung fu, but for now I will take step one: heal. This is the start of something really exciting for me. I know I will get better, and I will eventually adapt to my new reality. I know I will never be the same, but that is the fun of it. This is how I learn.

 I really want to thank all of you for your support, and I truly am very happy when I see or hear you all. This blog took me a long time to write, I have been trying to write this since 11:00 am, I had to take a lot of breaks in writing this. Even this give me a headache, but easily make me truly appreciate how great blogging is and I can't wait to do more.
