I Appreciate It

Sometimes people do realize how big of a difference they and their actions can make. There are so many small things in my life lately that I appreciate so much. On a daily basis I hear myself saying “You don’t understand how much I appreciate it.” So today—I thought to take the time to talk about all the things, small and big, that make a huge difference, that I appreciate so much.

1) My Physical Therapist. Also my new therapist. I look forward to seeing her all day, everyday. She has no idea

2) The packages from all my friends and family that I continue to get and always cheer me up.

3) The blow pops, got my 5^th bag from one of The Chi O’s today.

4) The new song that by Kelly Clarkson “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” what a pick me up.

5) Calcium supplements – call from my doctors today, nothings wrong with my “soft bones.” Rock on.

6) Sweet Potato Stew - my lunch that my wonderful mother has cooked and frozen for me in mini containers one for each day of the week. It’s my only lunch option since the grocery story isn’t.

7) Mederma—scar cream that my friend got for me. It seems to be working its wonders.

After surgery I had to keep food down and my pain under control before I could go home. I was in the hospital for 3 nights after my first surgery. My brother, boyfriend, and parents were all there all day. They took nighttime shifts so I was never really alone. My dad had the 12am-4am shift. That was when I was always the most awake. I have so many bad memories from the experience. But the night time with my dad is something I will always cherish. Thanks dad, you don’t understand how much I appreciate it.
