@santosha Thanks for your comments. So helpful! I really appreciate your noticing the source of our motivation to do things differently in order to live a full life.
“It keeps me at peace with myself.” —taping this one into my notebook! 🙂
Seeking that inner peace helps me get through trouble and worry when things within and around me get hard. Blessings to all for today!

Thank you for your comments, @marianne72! 💜 Happy to know they were useful to you.
Accepting my condition and making adaptations to my life were crucial to having my smile back!
As it's well known, stress is one of the most common seizure triggers, and the one I find the hardest to manage. Knowing that I have a cognitive deficit, which was a large source of stress to me in my first years of epilepsy treatment, having ways that help me remember or retrieve details forgotten was a relief to me. My neuropsychologist and also the Andrews-Reiter approach have been very helpful in managing that better.
By the way, I've started a discussion on our triggers that are our hardest battle: Which Seizure Trigger Is Your Hardest Battle? - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/which-seizure-trigger-is-your-hardest-battle/. If you haven't yet seen that discussion, it might be helpful to you.
Wishing you a beautiful day!
Chris
