I am thankful to get another day to love! To love my LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST. And the wonderful husband he has given me and our blessings of five children! We have a warm home..plenty to eat and lots of love and memories! We may not be rich but HE is all we need everything else just falls into place!

I’m especially thankful for the opportunity to visit Rome (and attend Pope Francis’s funeral), and for the trip to New York City I took with my mom.

Thankful I got to go back to New Mexico to visit with old friends, see my old stomping grounds, repair an old friendship, while I still can ... then come home and be with my DH, GC and YS who love me, dogs that adore me and chickens that expect treats from me, lol! It's wonderful to travel, but it's good to be home.

My family, my friends, and my health. Being a nursing student, I see people all the time who are in much worse shape than I am, and I’m all the more grateful that I can do all the things I can

mobility

Just about 11 years ago, I fell and broke my right wrist (dominant hand). It took almost a year to heal. At one point, I wondered if I would ever see the palm of my hand without using a mirror.

It was a lot of work to get the range of motion back, but I did it. I will never, ever take mobility for granted.

Dear right hand:
Thank you for healing. You do so much for me, and I am thankful and grateful for you and left hand every single day. Love you too, feet!
Love, Sally
PS: And thanks to every other part of my body! I don't want to leave any of you out. You're the best!

TOTALLY! Last Frbruary a bone in my right knee broke without warning and for no good reason. All I did was get out of bed. Thus began a change in my lifestyle that included three months of "no weight-bearing" on that leg (c'mon, seriously? Impossible!), three months in my recliner or a wheelchair, pretty much total dependence on family members, inability to cook or do my chores or go outside... followed by two months on a walker with PT at home and more PT learning to walk again using a cane and overcoming the fear of a re-injury. But I can walk now without a cane! My life is restored. I can cook and clean, walk and care for my family and my chickens. It's miraculous! I'll never take walking for granted again. I'm grateful ... for the gift of gratitude.

learning to walk again

When I was about 8, my grandmother fell, broke her arm, and was in traction for several weeks. She had to learn to walk again. I did not understand why she had to relearn how to walk if she'd broken her arm. I did not understand, use it or lose it.

I get it now, Grandma. I really do. You were very much an inspiration to me.
