With being sick, I've been really down in the dumps. I've been trying to keep myself focused on being upbeat and smiling. Unfortunately, it hasn't really been helpful as I wanted it to be. I have energy but no ability to do anything. When I feel like I may be able to do some small things, I have no energy. It's eternally frustrating. Truly, it's a never ending cycle. So, instead of staying blah about everything, I thought I'd be thankful.
I'm thankful for my family and friends. They have managed to keep me going at times when all I thought of was stopping. The love they give keeps me waddling along - one step at a time.
I'm thankful for my husband. He has been my rock during so many bumpy times that I can't wait for the smooth roads. If it wasn't for his faith in me, I don't think I'd be as strong as I am sometimes.
I'm thankful for the medicines I am able to afford. They help me get around when I can and do the small things, sometimes big things.
I'm thankful for the wonderful doctors that I've been blessed to have care for me. Not everyone finds a good doctor right away. However, I'm extremely blessed and thankful that I have some very knowledgeable and compassionate doctors.
I'm thankful for my faith. It's in those deep, dark moments when I'm alone with no one to turn to that my faith holds me close and keeps me from doing something I shouldn't. Just when I think there's no other way, all doors closed and sealed tight, I feel the breeze of that opening and I am grateful, thankful.
This dark, gray time will pass. If I were to keep going, I feel as though I'd have a long list. It would be a list of what really mattered, not what I don't have. I think that's the point. I just wanted to remind myself that I have a lot even if it doesn't appear that way. Maybe, maybe my day won't be so bad after all.
Until next time,
Kay
