Today I'm Grateful For . . .

~ Doctors and the influenza test (think strep test but up your nose!) that showed that I don't have influenza A or B (just the regular old miserable flu) so the CDC isn't really interested in me.

~ Jenny and Trevor who have been SO helpful in taking care of Sophie and Ayden, which was to be my job while Mary had her surgery. They are cheerful and loving helpers.

~ A kind husband to took off work to take me to the Dr and brings me whatever my heart desires.

~ Sophie : "Nana, you're happy to me. " (I don't know exactly what that means, but you're happy to me also, Sophie)

~ Ayden: "Nana, I know I can't kiss you 'cause you're sick, but I can still kiss you on the cheek, right?"

~ Michael is a serious student and I don't have to prod or pressure him, he just does what he needs to. I love that!

~ Ibuprofen and tylenol! Every four hours when they wear off and every cell in my body hurts I'm so grateful for their existence!

~My dear friend, Heather, who brought me an orange julius and took Annie for a walk.

~ The recognition that I really love my healthy body and it only takes a few days of illness to be grateful for the good times!

I/m sorry I haven't been available to help out when you've been so sick. Thank Jenny for me and the rest of the family for taking good care of you. I'm sure Ayden enjoyed kissing you on the cheek. I hope the flu doesn't last a long time. I am like you - just grateful for medicine to help us.

Sorry to hear you're sick and didn't get to enjoy your "nana time" to the fullest. Yes, modern medicine is great. Hope you bounce back quick!
