| Greetings,
 Welcome to the February issue of StrokeNet, the newsletter of The Stroke Network.
We
are still in the deep freeze at my house. I am looking forward to
spring! Take the opportunity this month to celebrate Groundhog's Day on
the 2nd and Valentines Days on the 14th.
In The Juggling Caregiver, Claudia, shares data on buying a new camera. Jim, in Dancing with Stroke, explores creating Opportunity from Challenges. In Speak No Evil, J.J. shares reasons to have a pet.
David investigates Music Therapy. Have you thought about speaking about your stroke? Check out Mike Purdy's experience in Survivor Speaks Out.
Bookends to this newsletter are Organization News and Member Celebrations. Be sure to read both!
Enjoy the February newsletter!
