I was sick for the better part of two weeks, and frankly I’m still not 100%. It’s really, really hard to feel grateful when you are pretty sure you have plague. But let’s try…
- Today is my Father’s 80th birthday. I am grateful for his support my entire life, and that he is still around. Yay Dad!
- Prescriptions being called in directly to the pharmacy. It’s just one less step to getting medicine
- Won Ton soup from the American Chinese restaurant conveniently located 1/2 block from CVS, and the little noodles
- Doctor being across the street from my apartment
- X-rays because the Doctor didn’t hear the lung rattle with the stethoscope
- Prescription drugs (ok- love/hate relationship- but they allow you to get better)
- Mandarin orange slices in little convenient packs (I don’t normally eat canned fruit, but there was something oddly comforting about these)
- Peach/mango/orange juice
- microwavable heat wrap for my achy muscles
- Netflix
- friends who checked up on me
- texting (seriously- when you keep coughing it’s a lifesaver)
Love your gratitude list when the chips are down! Just reading Oprah Winfrey s what I know for sure and am so very grateful for all in life and yes my dad too turned 80 recently!! Super grateful!

My mom had pneumonia a while back and it kicked her ass. I hope you feel better soon, but I bet you have at least another week before you start feeling 100%…I hope not, though. Pneumonia is no joke!

Texting while coughing…a new reason to like texting over talking. I’ll keep that one in mind.😀
Glad you’re on the mend. Hope you have plenty of time to just relax.

Was wondering where you were, so at least you can take comfort in the fact that your absence was noted and readers missed your musings. The body does heal, sometimes not as quickly as we’d like. Glad you are on the mend.
