Snowflakes

           Because of the unusual characteristics of each brain injury, no one knows what to expect - not the doctors, not the therapists, not the survivor, not the friends, not the families.   No one.  Each brain injury has it own special journey to wellness.  Some injuries leave behind its own unique signature.

         "We have all heard that no two snowflakes are alike. Each snowflake takes the perfect form for the maximum efficiency and effectiveness for its journey. And while the universal force of gravity gives them a shared destination, the expansive space in the air gives each snowflake the opportunity to take their own path.  . . .  there are so many transitions and changes that take place along the journey of the snowflake. But, no matter what the transition, the snowflake always finds itself perfectly shaped for its journey." Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free

         Thoreau has said, "Nature is full of genius, full of the divinity; so that not a snowflake escapes its fashioning hand."

          You are full of the divine.  Allow that thought to sustain you for there are so many transitions and changes on this journey of healing from a traumatic brain injury.  The Universe has given you expansive space on this path of wellness and recovery.  Believe in your inner wisdom, in your own special, sacred potential towards victory each and every day.  Recovering from a brain injury, and the myriad other injuries from the car wreck - - none of those experiences were expected.  There will be no guidebook, no manual, no treatise or lists of "what comes next"; because, like snowflakes, no two brain injuries are the same. 

          Please remember, "The part you are to play is as unique and beautiful as a snowflake, and one only you can fill." Princess Sassy Pants

          And, through it all, I believe in you, I'm proud of your accomplishments, and I love you!
