Well, today I went to the drug store for bug spray for the kids and Pepsi.
  I did not want to go, my neck had level 8 pain and my head was fuzzy and felt heavy. My left  hip kept going numb and tightened up when I walked.
  I was only in the store for about 10 mins. when I ran into Mrs. Templeton, my moms old friend we had not seen in years.
  She was in a wheel chair with Rheumatoid arthritis so bad her fingers were curled up in her palms. She has lost all use of her hands. She could no longer walk, type, knit, hold a book. She relies on her husband and kids for her care.
  I felt like a wimp whining over my pain at this moment.
Today I am grateful that I may have pain, and it may hurt me to use my arms, but I can still use them.
    I guess I am grateful for the level of health I do have.

Today I am grateful for the tooth being out. I am grateful for a wonderful hubby even if he does get under my skin. I am grateful for all the wonderful friends I have here on the group. I am grateful that I got up this morning. I am grateful we have a/c and fans.

One day I went along to the store with Jim. They know him big time over at the store. The manager will yell over to him, we have pedialyte in the back for you, 2 cases. Boy what a way to remember someone huh. ;-0

 
So we did alot of shopping that day in there well anyways for me. I was tripping over the cane as we came up to the checkout. Jim was looking wilted too.
 
So the lady that was bagging our stuff goes I will help you out with this. Jim goes oh no I can do it. She came up beside him and said no I have to my boss is watching me. All I saw were the regular workers there. I think she was being really nice and saw that Jim had had it and was about to drop. I think she said that so he would take the help. You know stubborn men, oh no they never need help.

Well, today I have a new twist to be grateful for.
  Oddly enough it is my poor health.
I used to set up at local collectible, antique and flea market shows.
   My health has forced me to stop as I can no longer carry, unpack and then pack up all the stuff.
  So, I am putting some of it on Freecycle.org as I have the time.
  Today, I was able to connect with a lady who is so sick she can not drive, she can not work and lives on her disability money. She lost her feet to diabetes and more.
   I offered up a bunch of books I had packed away, a ton of mysteries and she responded.
  I was able to get 40 plus books into the hands of this lady who can not drive to the library or afford to buy books online.
   For once, my poor health had a good benefit.

1. The check my friend sent.
2. My sons helping me get my email list back that I lost this morning.
3. I got a shower today. (I can't always get one, have to wash up because
too weak and shaky to stand in shower and can't do baths in tub.)
4. It was 98 today instead of 106 like yesterday.
5. I am alive and kicking and screaming. ;-)

6. My blood work looked fine or so they say.
7. I have you gals for friends
8. I have Jim for my hubby
9. I have such smart kids that really know how to do computer stuff. (since
I seem to keep messing it up)
10. I am now minus a wisdom tooth that shouldn't have been there.

11. I have a really great friend (sister) in Denise who talked to me for 2
hrs on phone after the disappointing day with the dr. That helped me too.
12. Val's site that is helping both Denise and I escape it all
13. Denise's brother came thru surgery ok today.
14. I found out my two fms friends didn't live in the fire area.
15. One of my other fms friends is doing a tad better than she was.

Ok, I think enough for now. I probably could keep going on and on. When you
really look for it, you can find positives and things you can be thankful
for.
