1. I'm grateful to have an opportunity to sit down and write in my gratitude journal! And yet still grateful for the energy I've had and for a busy week.
2. I'm grateful for my cell group. We've finally met together after being apart for what seems like months. Deb, Mary, and Gary were a sight for sore eyes. There were only 6 of us as opposed to the 12 to 15 in the usual crowd. It was the perfect environment for me to share some of my struggles, and for others to open up as well. I made a new friend, and deepened a relationship with an old friend. These connections are so important to me. God is using them to minister to me and to give me the opportunity to minister to others. In my prayer I was able to thank God for such healthy relationships with other Christians. I've never had that. I've always wanted that. Now that I have it, I'm so very grateful.
3. I have my new flipper (false tooth) and I like it better than my old one. I mentioned before that I'm grateful that Mike was able to work out a trade agreement with his dentist for computer services. Ashley made Christmas gifts for the dental staff from clay and magnets. They are such pleasant people.
4. I joined the senior YMCA with a medical membership. I learned how to use the treadmill and some of the machines. I especially enjoyed stretching with their giant web of stretchy bands. The senior ladies I met are Christians and are very friendly and helpful in showing me how to use the equipment. I was concerned about triggering fibro symptoms from exercising too much, but that hasn't been the case today. I'm sore, but NO fibro, praise God!
5. Olivia's fever has broken and she has more energy today. I usually get extra concerned when Olivia becomes ill because she is so small and doesn't know how to verbalize her symptoms to me. She kept putting her hands in her mouth saying "it hurts". I decided to take her to see the doctor to make sure it wasn't strep if she wasn't improving by morning. I gave her some echinacea and elderberry last night. This morning her fever has broke and she is playing with gusto.
6. I have a new haircut...shoulder length. And I love it.
