I had decided that the following 23 rules were important to follow as I evaluated my TBI and the life that became my future. My hope is that whoever reads this can apply any of the rules to their own life. Not all will apply, since this is my own list, but I would imagine you can find something meaningful within the 23. After re-reading my list, I think many of the 23 relate to attitude and how we see the world. Thank you so much for following 23.
