Not just waking up but waking up without being in pain and also knowing that I can stand up and move without a problem. Enjoying my coffee while petting the cats and listening to music. Eating the breakfast that Rick prepared for me. Taking care of my inside cats and my 2 colonies of ferals outside. Shopping for groceries online and knowing that they’ll be delivered. Being able to blog and just sitting here typing my blog without worrying that there will be nothing to write. Being able to write creatively. Being creative. Being able to do housework and laundry. Doing physical therapy and getting stronger. Just sitting here reading after months of not being able to concentrate on what I’ve just read. Being able to enjoy a movie I’m watching. Being home and not in the hospital or rehab facility. And, so much more. I think that I’m feeling more gratitude than I ever have in my life. I’m seeing all of the positive things and blessings, from tiny to huge, in my life every single day. I am thankful for it all.
