Gratitude is essential to feeling content and satisfied with what you have. I see it as a way to reinforce that I have everything I need. Maybe not everything I want( that second bathroom, haha) but at least I have one bathroom that is efficient and well organized albeit small.
things I’m grateful for this week:
PT went well and I’m doing the exercises at home. I’m hopeful to try and get to the pool next week. That is if California hasn’t been swept into the ocean with all the rain we’re having.
My appt with Dr. L went well and so did infusion. DR. L said everything looks good and I don’t need to see him till March. So that’s good news. He was happy to see my new LV as he was aware of the smash and go with my old LV and right after that his wife’s car also had a smash and go and a very expensive purse was taken too.
Today is a dex day and although it’s tough to be on I’m grateful for the drugs that have helped me to combat cancer. It’s not fun but it’s also not the worst. I’m so grateful my Kapp light chains are in the normal range and VEcade and Dex were the reason for that.
Today is February 1st( feels good to start a new month) and tomorrow February 2nd is Imbolc or cross quarter on the Celtic cross. I can always feel the change in the earth even though the Spring equinox isn’t till March 21st. Also, we’re having huge rains so not yet the springy feeling.
I’m grateful that my daughter’s tests were all good since she does have autoimmune issues and Hasimoto’s. The allergist she saw was super helpful she said and he told her she didn’t need to do any of the allergy tests as her face swelling and hives were an autoimmune reaction. All in all good news and she just needs not to get overly stressed. She said she feels better off gluten/wheat so I think she’ll keep doing that for a while.

It’s so true – focus on the positive rather than the negative. I try to do this too despite all my medical issues. Occasionally I have a down day and allow myself to wallow in self pity rather than suppress it……..then I bounce back. Sometimes we just need to do that.
Here in the Great White North spring is still far away – probably May or June if we are lucky but I’m used to it…….and it keeps the tourists away (I am a true introvert). I’m grateful to still be here in the place I love most and grateful for my family despite the petty feuds that the kids sometimes have. I try to stay out of it – they are all adults now…… even if they sometimes act like little kids. 🙄🤣
Probably, if I still lived in NY it would be a different story. But we’ve been gone from NY since 1970. I’m glad you love where you live, it makes all the difference in the world.
