find the bright side of brain surgery

Life is back to normal and yet absolutely changed forever. The bright sides continue to surface in strange and unexpected ways, and I am awed by the body’s ability to heal and teach us about ourselves. When I was lost in the world of ‘what do I want’ it brought me back to the beauty of the present.
I continue to feel so blessed.

there is so much beauty and grace and wonder in my life and it just seems to multiply as i become aware of all the little nuances that make my experience on this earth so beautiful.
a bright side to brain surgery i am considering today…
...i am so blessed to know and be supported by the people in my life, who are looking out for me and fighting for me when i can’t do it for myself. and i didn’t know or believe this fully before this whole experience, so understanding this gift is a HUGE bright side to brain surgery

...lovely narcotic induced naps in the morning and afternoon with crazy dreams spilling out in every which way
...understanding and feeling on a daily basis the depth and sincerity of my relationships in this world
...surprising all the people who assumed i would be cancer patient bald with my lovely full head of hair
...narcotic induced nausea+questionable hospital food=i now fit into my skinny jeans
...after 6 weeks of no work, no alcohol, no cigarettes, no caffeine, i feel like i have a fresh start. and it’s a reminder that i always control the choices that i make in this life, even when i choose to believe otherwise. everyday can be a fresh start, i shouldn’t have needed brain surgery to understand that i hold to the key to everything i want.
......as i write down just a very few of the bright sides of brain surgery, i find myself wondering if i would change what i have gone through if i could and it seems unthinkable. i feel so in control of what my life is and how i choose to move forward, it feels like such a gift that arisen from this whole experience.
and here i thought this post was going to be funny.
