Grateful again.

Grateful I can go back to work, even if it is with restrictions.  

Grateful what little pain I have is manageable.

Grateful my dog, Jax, ate this morning but I put some pulled chicken in his food.

Grateful to feel Skeeter sneaking up on my bed this morning. 

Grateful to wake up to hot water and heat this morning.  I am blessed.  

Grateful my family in Superior, Wisconsin is safe after the oil refinery explosion and fire.

Grateful to my brothers and sister-in-law.  We went up to the cemetery yesterday to pay respects to our mom who passed 30 years ago on yesterday’s date. 

Grateful I can get back into my exercises as there was a couple days this past week that were touch in go.  I was too stressed with the hot water heater, dealing with getting a new roof and the furnace not working right away yesterday. 

God.  Thank you.  

Grateful I can pray for other people who are struggling worse than I am and grateful I can see how really good I have it when the “smoke clears” so to speak. 

Grateful I could celebrate my sister-in-law’s birthday this weekend. 

Grateful to be sober and not smoking another day.

    1. It went well. I was a tad stiff the first day and tired most of the week but after 3 weeks off of not doing much, that is expected. Yes, I love my family time. :) Grateful to have my siblings all still alive as my parents are not.
