Greetings, Welcome to the September issue of StrokeNet. Can you believe it is September already? The days in the western hemisphere are definitely getting shorter. Summer was great while it lasted, but now early in the morning it is already nippy. We are still enjoying produce from the garden. Kids are back at school. And so we pass into another season. Time to look at activities for the cold season. In this issue Steve Mallory reports on network news. Kathy Bosworth
writes about the loss of dreams. Marty Arlen shares some insights on
joining the world again after a stroke. Next you will find a reprint of an
article first published in March 2003. Michael Roberts reflects on reading
and offers some suggestions. Kate Adamson reports on visiting with another
survivor. September birthdays are listed. Featured bio is of Kirk Luke.
Have a good read.
