Greetings,
Welcome to the Annual Reader Creative Writings
Issue of StrokeNet. Each year newsletter readers are
invited to submit creative writings for the February
issue. A big thanks to everyone who took the time and
effort to submit. Submitting is not an easy task for
many. But, it is great therapy!
One submitter sent her submission three times.
All the emails were returned. The fourth made it. Two
others sent their submissions to Steve who forwarded
to me. The tenaciousness of our
readers demonstrates one key element to stroke recovery.
Just keep working at it!
We begin and end this newsletter with two regular
features, Organization Highlights and the Celebration
List. In between are the Creative Writings.
Fourteen submissions were selected for
publication. I have divided them into five
categories.
· Reflection on
Stroke ·
Life After Stroke · Honoring
Relatives · Pets are
Therapeutic · The Future is Open
A number of people submitted their stroke
stories. The appropriate place for stroke stories is in
the Members Bio section of The Gallery, which can be
accessed from the Message Board.
Each month, new bios are featured in this
newsletter. The only rules are to include you first and
last name in the caption, include a photo of yourself
and write 200 - 1000 words. Let me know if you need
assistance.
Enjoy the February newsletter!
