Be yourself; Everyone else is already taken.
— Oscar Wilde.
I am living with a traumatic brain injury due to an almost fatal skiing accident. The injury is both a privilege and curse. I am privileged, as I am lucky to be alive. The injury has also humbled me and helped me to understand the value life. However, the curse is that my life has changed forever in many ways due to the injury. I will not dwell on the curse in this blog, as the blessing of being humbled and more self-aware far exceeds the curse. I have met some amazing people who were not as fortunate as I have been but are still thriving and pushing to heal and improve their lives. So on with the blog. In the next chapter I will describe the accident.
