  1. Waking up to a new day God has given me.
  2. God. Always with me.
  3. Five days off after a busy weekend working at the hospital up the street.
  4. I am employed.  Still avoiding layoff.
  5. Good people at the hospital I have been training at and still being able to go back and work my home base also.
  6. Sleep.  Much needed after this weekend.  I am so not used to getting up at 2:45 a.m. and working at 4:00 a.m.
  7. My son. Although we have not seen each other since April 4 and did keep our 6 feet distance, we can still text and keep in touch. Love that young man.
  8. Technology.  Our Bible study has been meeting on Messenger and Zoom.  We can see each other and talk.  Not the same as in person but I will most assuredly take it!
  9. Our church doing the Sunday service on Youtube.  Again, not in person, but will take it as I would feel very sad if we could not have that.  It also proves that the church is not the building, you can have it anywhere or any way.
  10. All the front line workers during the COVID-19.
  11. The people who are providing us with our cloth masks during this time.
  12. I am sober and nicotine free another day.  I celebrated 38 years sobriety on April 18.  I would have loved to go to a meeting but they are all closed down as far as I know.  I was able to celebrate on Facebook in the groups though. Very grateful chick here.
  13. That during this virus, we can all have our opinions even though some are more push about their opinions than others.  It is a hard time and people are losing out financially and I feel for them but we must all hang in there.
  14. My family, friends, coworkers are healthy, as far as I know.
  15. A roof over my head.  Easy to take that for granted.  I try really hard not to for sure.
