Small Thanks

I'm getting restless, having been cooped up for the last few days. I had to cancel all my appointments today, as I'm still unable to be on my feet for more than a few minutes. Last night was a very difficult night. I was thinking the pain would get better, not worse.

Yet, even though I am having a difficult time, I'm aware of all there is to be thankful for. This is just a temporary situation for me. All in all, I'm lucky to have my health and be surrounded by people I love and who love me.

On Monday morning, there was a knock on the door. To my surprise, when I looked outside there was a beautiful bouquet of flowers. They were from my big brother and are a constant reminder that I'm not alone.

I'm looking forward to spending tomorrow with my father, brother, and B. I'm so grateful that they are comfortable around each other. B. told me how much he's looking forward to spending the day together, which made me really happy.

Now, about that cranberry sauce...
