The Blitz

Oh my goodness! I am being blitzed! I'm part of the Blog Blitz campaign run by none other than DL Hammon. Don, I didn't get the email to Blitz myself. Shame shame.

The joys and headaches of blog hops is 1) there's usually too many people involved to keep track of everyone, and 2) you get forgetful on which one runs when. I am guilty as charged. Yesterday I posted my blog for the Indelibles Indie Life when it should be next Wednesday. All I can say is I lost too many brain cells with my stroke and my schedule went from Abby Normal to Hectic Hanna the past couple weeks, but hey, I'm still blogging.

When I get too frustrated to work on my Work In Progress I blog. It all cognitive practice for me and Lord, do I love to talk. That's the one thing I really miss with my stroke is the ability to form words verbally. But it's just as well because although I only type, one-handed at a new pace of 42 WPM instead of 120 WPM my brain has a chance to work at a slower pace too.

Last test  my IQ=150
On an interesting note, my cardiologist suggested to me that I get a Mensa tutor. I've been a member for more than three decades, but now I'm severely impaired. Yes, I had a very high IQ. Now, not so much. It's not that I don't know what I know, but I have lost the ability to process, recall the information, and communicate it back...in other words my brain short circuits or a brain fart. To say this is frustrating is a huge understatement. I'm still on the fence about this.

But challenges are something we all face. If we didn't have mountains to charge up where would we be? Everyone needs challenges in their lives. If we didn't, how would we know how far we've come in retrospect. I've charged up many a hill in my lifetime. Some I reached the pinnacle and others I couldn't, but that didn't stop me from trying. The learning opportunities and the conquest are the goal.

That's why I call my stroke a bump in the road of life. In some respects it is the most challenging I've ever had to face, but then in retrospect so was walking again after being in a helicopter crash, bouts with cancer, raising two disabled children (1 physically & 1 mentally challenged), and a host of other things that have happened in my life. They are all molehills now in looking back compared to any new mountain I face.

Happy Blitz Day to me. For all of you just finding me...my usual blog schedule is Monday Mailbox where I answer emails and snail mail from readers and writers, Wednesday Writerly Way where I talk about writing and publishing both from the traditionally published and indie view points, Friday Fun where I chat about fun stuff like reviews of books, movies, tv and other fun stuff like family, on Sunday it's Stroke Survivor and it's all about dealing with strokes. Occasionally, like today I'll chat about anything and everything. I hope you'll follow me, comment, and revisit. Any way, welcome to the Murphey Saga.

Keep writing and loving the Lord.

  3. Lovely entry to encourage us all to climb our mountains with courage,although mine are much smaller, probably hills compared to yours. Happy Blitz Day! Good luck!

  6. Well gee, nothing like hiding behind the sofa, waiting to jump up and yell, "Surprise!" when the intended surprisee sneaks up behind ya and taps you on the shoulder to offer a cup of coffee. (No thanks... I'd rather have tea.)

    Okay, so it's a little anti-climactic, but (ta-DA!) You've been blitzed! (Surpriiiiiise?)

    Nice to meet you. Count me in as your newest groupie.

  8. Such as it is when you're dealing with a team of people who span multiple continents and time zones. Unless you post early early in the AM (and even that won't get everybody), some Blitzers will inevitably land on the previous post. :)

    I commend your grit...and ability to adapt!!! Enjoy the day.

  9. Happy Blitz Day! So sorry for all the challenges you face, but it sounds like you have a good perspective from going through the other ones you've been through. I've been through some pretty challenging times too so I know how they can help you grow as a person.

  10. It's said that trouble creates patience, but you sound as though patience is something you've essentially already mastered. The one-handed typing would frustrate me to no end.

    May your speed bumps be few and your shock absorbers never fail.

  11. Wonderful post. We should all be so realistic and positive!

    Bazinga!

    You've been BLITZED!

  15. Hello, JoAnn! Happy Blitz Day to you! I love blitzing because I get to meet so many amazing people like yourself that I might otherwise miss.

    I absolutely love your positive attitude in the face of such challenges- I can't imagine being such an avid blogger with typing ability in one hand. Your story is so inspirational and I'm so grateful to have discovered you today!

    I will follow and happily be back around in the future to hear more from you.

    Much love,

  26. Hello and happy blitz to you!

    I was starting in on my pity party today - thinking what a cra**y year it has been for me so far. Then I read your post. I was in an auto accident in February and am still suffering from the injuries .. but I did not have a stroke. You brought tears to my eyes.

    I wish you all the best ~

  30. You certainly have a very active mind even if you've suffered a stroke. The doctors should use you as a great example for stroke victims. It's quite encouraging, actually. Keep up the flow.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Haha, you blitzed us right back, you clever girl! this is a lovely intro to you and where you're at. People like you awe me. You know, you're only given so much to deal with because you can handle it---beautifully.

    I'm so happy D.L. has introduced me to your place. :)

    ReplyDelete
  32. Fun to see your post about being blitzed! Loved your post. I am sorry to read about your struggles, but I find your attitude inspiring and I can't wait for the day when you've tacked these challenges and can look at this bump in the road through your rear-view. Take care! - Corinne

  37. Hello: Congratulations. And thank you. For what? For being an model of human strength - physically, emotionally and spiritually. Others might have turned to alcohol or drugs, quit life and turned on the TV and never shut it off, or wallowed in self pity and anti-depressants. Life has certainly challenged your metal. And your metal is malleable gold, studded with beautiful jewels. Thank you for your post.

  44. Nice to meet you and your blog. Sounds like you have an interesting story there. It's amazing you are pushing on after such a horrible health condition. Sending energy and prayers for your continued recovery and strength.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Happy Blitz Day! I hear you were the very first to sign up! Awesome. Your story and attitude are very inspiring. I've had to climb some very challenging mountains myself healthwise, so I can relate to the challenges, though mine have been mostly orthopedic and lung related. We each get our own trials to face, but we have the Lord to guide us through it all.
    Happy to be a new follower!

  46. Wow, an uphill battle, indeed. I admire your strength and courage and completely agree with you about challenges and bumps in life. I like to go with doing things that terrify me every once in a while. What is life if not working through challenges, scaring ourselves sometimes, and dragging our butts up some big hills!

  56. Sorry I'm late to the Blitz (I have an excuse, it's my wife's birthday today!).

    As a fellow stroke sufferer I can vouch for the aggravation that arises when you find you can't process something like you used to!

  112. I meant to get by sooner, JoAnn, but I don't usually blog on Thursdays and we've been dealing with trying to learn to walk on water in my area with all the flooding.

    I think not being able to process and recall and communicate it back WOULD be very frustrating. I know when I was very ill, it was hard to get my brain working as it should--grabbing for a word or phrase, not being able to remember something I knew well, that blank feeling just slayed me.

    Yep, it's all in how you look at life. Don't tell me I can't do something because I WILL find a way to do it.

    I'm glad you're facing the challenges life throws you and looking at them as a learning process is smart (although very frustrating at time). I guarantee, you do learn to be the best you can be and you usually find a way around the obstacles.

  117. Happy Blitz Day! I wasn't sure whether it should be for this post or the other, the trouble with different time zones I suppose.

    You are truly an inspiration to be so positive after your bumps in the road. I suspect most only deal with one or two of your experiences.

    Great blog, I look forward to seeing more.

  118. I'm a bit late for Blitz Day (no excuse -- I live in England, so I should have been here first!). I read several of your posts and absolutely love the concept of being a hybrid. My first novel is coming out as an ebook from a new publisher, so I guess that puts me somewhere in the middle. And it makes me very grateful for all of your words of advice and experience!

  129. Amy, Blog Blitz was a blog hop I signed up for to support another blogger. Don (the blog hop leader) chooses one or two people a month and we all visit their sites and post a comment. It's a way to check out other people's blog and show support.

    The Mensa tutoring sounds interesting. I'd love to take an IQ test someday!

    ReplyDelete
  131. Deniz, Yep Mensa tutoring is an option. But really at my age, my IQ being in the normal range is irritating but is it really necessary? I do miss my photographic, phonographic, and short term memory though.

I love to hear from you! Agree, Disagree, Indifferent...no matter. Even if it's to say you were here.
