[Andrew Brunelle]

I know what it is like to sleepwalk through life. Ever since I had a brain tumor, I haven't felt quite right with respect to my previous "normal" state of being. But as things oscillate between good and bad, between consciousness and unconsciousness, I am eternally grateful to still be here, in the flesh and in the spirit. Gratitude for everything in your life, even the negative, to this point and a conscious effort to better your current circumstances is what is moving me along. In the last five years since my dreadful sickness, I've made significant strides in consciousness and physical well-being. I'm not saying this to brag, but I am just showing you that no matter how bad things get, there is always a way to improve. Start slow. Take it one day at a time. Embrace each present moment. Never forget we are here as spiritual beings and we are here for a reason. It may not be one we can see right now, but listening to your body, to the signs you get out in the real world, and by the strenght and perseverence of your soul, you can find the way again. Just get on the good path with upward spirals. The high may not last forever, but you'll feel much better for taking this road.
