I am thankful for my family.

I am thankful for my husband who does so much and is healthy now.

I am thankful my children are healthy and have excellent jobs with benefits.

I am thankful for our humble home that gives us a roof over our heads and keeps us dry, warm, and safe within.

I am thankful for being able to walk every day in our beautiful park with a paved trail.

I am thankful to be able to swim and have a car that can get me there.

I am thankful that my myeloma numbers are still low even though they are out of range and increasing. The increase of my Kappa light chains to 26.0 is a jump but still not worrisome. I am thankful I still have a number of months before treatment would need to start again. I am grateful for a hematologist/medical oncologist whom I trust and know will do the right thing when the time comes.

I am thankful each and every day just to be aware of the beauty around me and to live the best life I can.
