87 of 100 ... Caught Up!



I could be very busy over the next while, working on things I've wanted to work on for a while! It will take a bit longer, but what I do now, I won't have to do later ... now, where to start?  For all the difficulty of the last few days, the gratitude moments are in abundance, also!  Hmm ... that's interesting ...


Moments of Gratitude for Today


Today, I'm grateful for ...
1/ easily injecting myself at noon!  I remembered well from last time, and it worked!
2/ getting the opportunity to "pay it forward" with my cousin TH, who is in town because of her son.  Because others have been so giving to me, I wanted to be giving to her.
3/ backing out of the two events for today.   I so badly wanted to enjoy a bit of Stampeding, but every way I looked at it, I would be putting someone out and I would end up tired. So, I stayed away.  I trust there will be another time, next year.
4/ finding my debit card!  Yup, that was a moment of gratitude!
5/ NL, a colleague at work who has stepped in to help me with my main responsibility over this last week.  I know it has been difficult for her, and I am so grateful for her help! "Thank you" seems to be so trite for what I know it was for her and how appreciative I am for her help.
6/ all the words and check-ins and text/other messages I've received through this.  Last time, I remember lying on a gurney, waiting for the CT scan, and in that moment, feeling more alone than I ever had in my entire life.  This time, I felt surrounded by so many people - their presence and their thoughts.  And what a difference that makes in my attitude, as well!
7/ the beautiful flowers I got from work!  What a beautiful treat!


Man, do I have a list of the dent I need to start making in my world!  Starting with my first blood test tomorrow morning and getting the Innohep to inject, all before lunch!
