Most of you know I've been dealing with a bad knee today. I don't let that get me down.
I'm thankful for resting my knee today. I'm going to get my exercises and work it so it gets better.
I'm thankful for the shower as it helped me bend my knee. I'm making headway.
I'm thankful I can still get around easily.
I'm thankful for my son who brought my pain meds. Other than the dose I took before he got here, I haven't needed them.
I'm thankful I have enough food and can take care of myself even with a messed up knee.
I'm thankful for virtual friends. You are the best encouragers.
I'm thankful I have the notifications finished. It's time to exercise and get this knee ready for tomorrow's therapy session.
That's what I'm thankful for today. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

Make sure you don't overdo it. Sometimes it is good just to let it rest and heal. These things take a bit of time. I am thankful we had a beautiful day today.

Sorry it's been a more difficult day with your knee but thankful you are pressing on still. And that you haven't needed much pain medicine, that is wonderful.
I'm thankful I was able to get our van inspected, the tag and insurance paid on it. Also because of the car accident in July we owed no taxes on that car. We weren't expected that.
I'm thankful for being able to buy some groceries this morning. There are so many who are hungry in the world. I'm thankful for our home, it may not be a mansion but it is our mansion.
Have a blessed evening.

Trust me, my right leg isn't being kind to me. I'm grateful I can still limp on it, even when it hurts. I may tire out faster in this way, but I'm not in a wheelchair practically 24/7, yet. By having one, I've been able to keep my right leg.
I wish you luck on working out that knee, and it's good you're not relying on pain meds.

I'm glad you're still able to use your right leg.
My knee is much better this morning. I take them only when necessary.

I'm glad the winds calmed down. I'm sure the birds landing close brought you immense pleasure. It's rare when the weatherman gets it correct.
I find it interesting to watch the weather and see the projected and then see the actual on the map. Sometimes they get it right, more often they're off a bit.
72 is nice.

@crazyhorseladycx I'm sorry it's so chilly today. You'll get your chores done faster.
I don't think anyone believes what weathermen say. It's better to look out the window or get out the door to see and know what it's doing outside.

Your son is really sweet. You are so lucky! I hope you stay inspired with your exercises and everyday is really wonderful. There is always something to be thankful for, like your sweet son. Today, I am also thankful because coronavirus here is still spreading but my family is still safe from it, I hope it stays that way. Stay healthy and take care always.

Thank you. The exercises I did yesterday helped. It's doing much better today. I'm ready for therapy in an hour. It's doubtful I'll get to 110 today, but I can bend it where I couldn't yesterday.
