I thought that I would share some
general thoughts at the end of this 2011 Thanksgiving week-end. I am
sitting in my living room looking at the lights on the Christmas tree that I
just put up and thinking about the past year and how fast it has gone.
There have been good moments and bad, pain, agony, laughter and the feeling of
being at peace.
I wanted to share with you the things that I am grateful for this year. I am grateful that both my parents are alive and in good health. I am grateful that I have a home and that my baby, Ozzie Newsome (rat terrier extraordinaire!) is there and happy to see me each time I walk into the house. I am grateful for all my families, including the extended ones from my parent’s remarriages. I am grateful for new friends and a closer relationship with old ones. I am thankful that I have reconnected with some of my friends from high school.
I am thankful that I have doctors who understand my rsd/crps and me and who listen to me when I talk. I am thankful for my case manager who is also a dear friend. I know that my life would be much harder without her support, encouragement and prayers. I am thankful for the people in my church and my pastor. No matter how long it is between visits, they always keep me in prayer and welcome me with open arms when I walk into the sanctuary.
I am grateful that I can still live alone with a little assistance. I am grateful for my rsd/crps family and those people who are willing to work with me to get the ALABAMA PAIN COALITION up and running. I am grateful that my health seems to be holding steady and that I lost some weight this year.
2011 has been a year where I lost someone close to me (I love you Aunt Mag) and climbed over many internal hurdles. All in all though, it has been a good year; a productive year.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
