Gratitude

Fortunately for me, I was welcomed with open arms; and what do you know, after 18 years, I’m still hanging out! I shudder to think what my life would look like without my involvement with KBIC, and thankfully, I don’t have to. All In know is that the community of members, staff, and interns have been my foundation for a “New Life After Brain Injury”.  

In all seriousness, it wasn’t really that type of nervousness that I felt. If anything, I felt a responsibility to communicate the amazing positive impact I had experienced from Occupational Therapy in my recovery and express my gratitude and admiration for their choosing the field.

Well St. Francis, is it that being recovered that allows one to aid another, or does aiding someone else’s journey boost recovery?  

As a group scattered around the country, we typically rely on virtual mediums to facilitate group discussions, but since we recently celebrated our 10th birthday and hadn’t met face to face for 5 years, 2025 was the year to come together!

I’m excited to play Samoset’s seaside course and spend some time in the beautiful Rockland area, and this trip is another step in building a life after brain injury.

While the words gratitude and amazement may seem to be chosen without much thought, each  serve as appropriate descriptors of where I find myself almost seven thousand days into a new life after brain injury!
