Seeing how it is Thanksgiving here in America, I thought I would take a day to say what I am thankful for.
I am thankful for …
my family and friends for all the support they have given me during this difficult time in my life.
the incredible medical team that I have.
an answer for my knee pain and an upcoming surgery.
spending today and this holiday with some of my favorite people.
the opportunities open to me, especially from writing this blog.
food on the table and in the house and for never wondering when my next meal will be.
the Affordable Care Act for allowing me to stay on my dad’s insurance; without it, I wouldn’t be able to receive my treatments, take my medications, or have my surgery.
all of the gluten-free and dairy-free options that are out there and how good they arenow.
clean water.
a warm house, a closet full of coats, and a bucket full of scarves, gloves, etc.
my pets.
coffee.
my followers! Thank you so much for coming to my space of the Internet, whether you come every day or this is your first time.
