Grateful, thankful, and blessed. We see these words a lot this time of year. Today they have a little different meeting for me. I’m closing the book on my Covid 2022 journey. All of my oxygen supplies are officially leaving the house! I’m not anxious at all! Surprises me but I’m not. My emotions are all over the place, happy, sad, overwhelmed, and of course thankful! This experience has changed me. This experience has enhanced my relationships. This experience has taught me so much!
GRATEFUL! For each day, for the air we breathe, for the education of the physicians who treated me, For the compassionate nurses who cared for me, and for what this journey has done for me.
THANKFUL! For all who prayed for me and gave me strength to fight this battle, for those who fought before me from whom the doctors learned, for my husband who showed such amazing compassion in his care of me, and for my sister who gave so much to come and care for me!
BLESSED! For my parents who through their worry remain steadfast in their care and love, for my kids who have watched me fight different things but their love and compassion continues to be endless, for friends and family who did so much to lift me up, and for God who carried me through.
It may be dreary rainy and cold here in Appleton but today I feel the sun shining down on me for I am truly GRATEFUL, THANKFUL and BLESSED!
