Grateful for the Many Good Things!
Lest you think all I do is whine, I am incredibly grateful for SO many good things!
I'm so grateful for the wonderful family and friends who support me so kindly and more wonderfully than I could ever imagine. They give so much time and energy and understanding and I am so grateful.
I'm so grateful for life itself. What a miracle it is to awaken in the morning and savor the well-being and comfort of feeling ok and being in my own, comfy bed! To feel "normal", even for just a while, as I DO now each morning is a great, great joy - and the feeling of "okay-ness" lasts longer each passing week.
I'm so grateful for increasing strength and stamina. I did 50 yards of JOGGING (under supervision - honest!) and it was wonderful fun. I was both laughing and crying for joy at the same time! I have promised Dr. K that I will stick with the bike, elliptical and pool, however...don't want to wreck all his hard work on the ankle!
I'm so grateful that my workmates have adapted so many things to help me and make things easier. Vanderbilt has been wonderful and I am blessed to have such great colleagues.
I'm so grateful to be able to exercise again! Working out at the rec center is such a joy and blessing. Lifting those weights, doing the elliptical, riding the bike - they all give such a feeling of normalcy and goodness and I'm so grateful. In the fall when school starts, I know I won't be able to do as much as I do now, but I hope to have gained the strength to keep up with the demands of work effectively. I will still be working out, but I know I'll have to scale it back for a while and get my work stamina up to snuff.
It's only about 3 weeks now till the students return and SCHOOL STARTS - keep your fingers crossed that I'll be ready!!!
