Counting my Blessing

No, this is not a fool's errand.  When I count my blessings, it kept my anchor rooted on positive thoughts, not that I have many to begin with.

Still ...

I'm alive.  What could be a better blessing than being alive and being able to talk about it.

I'm getting a new crown of glory.  Well, not immediately but soon.  My old ones have abandoned ship. Traitors!  I don't have much use for them anyway.  They're unremarkable, mostly white and never looked healthy.  In the meantime, I'm going to wear those vibrant headscarves I've never had reasons to wear before.

Remember that frozen shoulder I was telling you about?  The one on my right arm?  Only about 10% of the original achy stiffness remained.  That's gotta count for something.

The little blister in my mouth is healing fast, thanks to Biotene. Most of all, my appetite is back.  So is my sense of humor.

The stiffness on my left arm is marginal on most days.  I've been exercising and keeping the blood circulating around the area. It still hurts but the pain diminishes with the passage of time.

Also, I cleaned my bedroom this morning and changed the bedsheet, all by myself.  I am so proud of me. My wound is a little sore now but it'll pass.
