Response-Ability To Dis-Abilitiy

I had a stroke this week

How to get a private parking spaceIt’s one way to get a private parking space. I doubt the trade off will be worth it though.

Otherwise, it was a good week. Each day we wake up, we never really know what lies ahead on our journey. Stuff happens. Are we mentally prepared for the worst case scenario?

Life does not always follow our appointment calendar. My biggest concern for a few days was changing my scheduled work appointments and feeling guilty for not being able to meet some deadlines I had set for my clients. Now, my biggest concern is hoping they will allow me a little more time and be willing to accept my new slower pace.

The BrainThe brain is a marvelous thing. We take it and our other body functions pretty much for granted until something goes wrong with it. Typing this post is a lot harder, what with my new left hand wackyness. I’ve heard that you can re-train your brain with effort and rehabilitation. Let the training begin.

My normal positive outlook on life should keep me on course. I must admit that I’m moving into the acceptance mode from the denial mode reluctantly. I just thought I was having a hunger pain and the dizziness and funny walking gait would go away after a little food and rest. Not so.

Be aware of the signs and symptoms of a stroke. It’s pretty serious.

They seem so much like just a momentary thing. It took me about 36 hours to even give serious consideration to my wife’s recommendations to see a doctor. Maybe it’s the male machismo thing or “that will never happen to me” attitude.

Well, that was “wrong thinking”. It did happen to me. And, now I have to deal with it.

Listen closely to those who love us.

Response Ability Overcomes Dis AbilityI will not let this get me down though. I’ve written before about “Response-Ability”. It applies to everything in life. How we respond to what happens to us determines our happiness.

So, for now, I will walk a little funny. That’s not a big deal. After all, I wear a Big NameTag at networking events. It can’t be much more unusual than that. So when you see me at an event next time, and I’m walking a little slower, rejoice with me that my little stroke could have been a lot worse. I have been blessed to retain the movement of my hands, my ability to speak, and the awareness of my mind.

I will continue to be That Sales Guy, Your Internet Sales Consultant, a caring husband, father, and grandpa. Just a little slower getting from hear to there. I love life and am happy to continuing enjoying my journey through it. I will not let a little “dis-ability” affect my “response-ability”.

  3. SEO methods are the overlooked heroes of the online era, supplying enterprises with the tools and strategies to shine brilliantly in the expansive universe of internet information. By delving into the possibility of effective search term focusing, quality backlink attainment, and material improvement, these services ensure that a website is not just visible, but distinguishes itself as a light of pertinence and authority in its sector. The charm of SEO resides in its capability to spontaneously raise a company’s visibility, drawing in audiences sincerely intrigued in what is on display, and generating valuable interactions that result to enduring relationships.

    In a world where online prominence often commands triumph, having a customized SEO strategy is akin to having a primary answer to the online urban. Every tweak and change made by SEO specialists isn’t just about satisfying calculations, but more crucially, about understanding and serving to human behaviors and necessities. The conclusive goal?

  4. In the ever-evolving landscape of SEO, tools and techniques that can successfully boost a website’s online presence are in constant demand. Introduce XRumer, a cutting-edge software designed to power up link-building campaigns. With the aid of the capability to post on message boards, blogs, guestbooks, and other platforms automatically, XRumer revolutionizes the way online marketers tackle off-page SEO. This strong tool bypasses general online obstacles like CAPTCHAs, ensuring an unbroken and productive backlink creation method. A well-executed XRumer SEO run might notably increase a site’s search engine rankings, pushing organic traffic and elevating online appearance.

    However, while the potential of XRumer is undeniable, its use demands a strategic and wise method. Similar to all SEO tools, the outcomes are solely as excellent as the technique behind them. Too much reliance or misuse could lead to undesired results, such as punishments from search engines for artificial link building. Thus, when beginning on an XRumer SEO run, it’s imperative to emphasize value over number, aiming at pertinent and high-authority sites that conform with the brand’s principles. In the hands of a talented SEO professional, XRumer becomes a formidable asset, linking the gap between a brand and its digital potential.
