Musings...Time for a contest

Since I was first told that I had survived a stroke in the womb, and especially since I had my stroke a few years ago, I have been trying to come up with a design for a T-shirt to wear during National Stroke Month. So far I have had very little luck.

It seems like I came back from Arizona in the spring just a day or two ago. I must have blinked because it is almost time for me to return to my winter home once again. The snowbirds are starting to depart for warmer temperatures little by little, and I will be leaving soon as well.
