March 1 - What I'm Thankful for Today

Tweet

Today has been a different kind of day. Not what I expected when I woke this morning. However, I'm grateful for all the wonderful people in my life who helped me today. I'm thankful for Sunday and the privilege to go to church and be with friends who are more than friends, they're family. I'm thankful for help and prayer in my time of need this morning when I started having chest pains, even though I knew it was not heart-related. I'm thankful for the medical staff at Aurora BayCare Hospital who listened and believed me when I told them it wasn't my heart. I'm thankful for the doctor who didn't discount my theory that it's been pleurisy all along but was never proven. He agreed it could be. No, he didn't say it was conclusively pleurisy, but all the signs point to it. That's what he agreed to. And he told me what to take when another attack happens. Ibuprofen. He suggested Tylenol, but when I told him that doesn't work for me and he asked me what I take for pain, he told me to go ahead and take it as necessary. I'm thankful for lunch today. When I got home, I left and treated myself to a great dinner and this time I didn't splurge on my diet. I didn't eat the bread or the sour cream for the baked potato and I had two cups of tea, no sugar. My dinner - Liver, and onions with bacon and a baked potato. Yum. Oh yeah, a garden salad too. I took off the croutons. I did have the ranch dressing to go with it though. I can't do a salad without dressing. I'm thankful for getting the notifications finished twice today. And I'm thankful for getting all my steps in while I watched TV and had a small supper. It really was a good day, and yes, the sermon this morning was very good. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The picture belongs to me. Every day is a blessing.
