We're almost halfway through our 52 photos for the year - how did that happen?
This week's prompt was 'You Are...'
We're to fill the blank with 'the positive reinforcement YOU deserve'.
So I guess the prompt is really 'I am....'
And my immediate thought is
I AM BLESSED
I am alive.
I have all my 5 senses.
I can operate the computer and join in with all these fun prompts.
Things that 6 years ago were touch and go as I laid in hospital, without speech, paralyzed down all the right side of my body, and at this time in 2007, fighting for breath as I'd developed a blood clot in my right lung - 6 weeks after the main stroke hit.
So I give two pictures to communicate how blessed I am - one taken yesterday of a potted sunflower I just couldn't resist buying last weekend, and one from 10 years ago - a favourite of my beloved kids...
Enjoy!!
Now I'm hopping over to Sally's Studio Sublime to see how you lovely people have filled in the blank...
Till next week xxx

A wonderful blog post - you truly are blessed.
Lovely reflection on your strength and perseverance!
Amen to that!
Not only are you blessed, but you are strong enough to get through these difficult times. I love your beautiful photos!
Claire your post this week is wonderful. It's great that you feel blessed. You have come so far in 6 years that you should be an inspiration to all of us. My husband had a stroke in July of 2009. I got to see first hand what happens when you stop trying to get better. Kudos to you for all your hard work.
You are also inspiring! You've been through a lot but you don't give up!
You have been fighting the good fight and so happy for you that progress has been made. Enjoy those blessings.
Both your sunflower and your kids look very cheerful!
You are very inspiring : )
You are truly blessed and I feel blessed getting to know you through this photography challenge this year,....love the pics, they are just super!
You are - and most of us are truly blessed, we just forget it sometimes.
Love your pictures - they are the perfect capture of blessings!
Perfect! You make me feel blessed as well. Thank you for that!
How very true.
Beautiful! I am so glad you feel blessed and are doing well. I too had a stroke in my not so distance past and it is very frightening.

Great pictures. And yes, you are truly blessed.
So very glad you came out the other side of that feeling blessed. I know your children are happy about that too!
