Surgical Gratitude

I really need to make a better effort at this... *sigh*

• I'm grateful my surgery went well and I was up and walking (even down and up stairs) Thursday night.
• I'm grateful it was "only" a labral tear and not like my shoulder or knee--even though I was very surprised there wasn't any more damage this time!
• I'm grateful that it appears I won't have to use the pain medications prescribed.
  

Prayer of Thanksgiving

I have MUCH to be grateful for this evening.

1. I am grateful that Kevin kept his wits about him while I was losing mine.
2. I'm grateful we all got out of the house (including Zoey and my 25 year old Snoopy)
3. I'm grateful the fire department didn't give up when it "didn't feel right" and found the compressor on the fridge had caught fire instead of the light in the ceiling.
   
4. I'm very very grateful that our home is intact and I'm (eventually, if I settle down) sleeping in my own bed tonight.

I need--something...

Fluffy feline furball therapy?
Retail therapy?

Something.

Season of Gratitude

Oops. It's been over a month since I last posted here. I need to make a better effort to post my paltry three things I'm grateful for, especially since it's Thanksgiving time.

I'm thankful for

1. My gift/talent of writing. As a result of my blog/writing, I've connected with two old friends in the past week.
2. Dreams (the sleeping kind). Thanks to a few dreams I've been having lately I've been able to hug my dad as well as talk to him and someone else I'm unable to talk to for reasons I'm not sure I get--but if they're what I think they are then it makes sense.
3. My job. I love, love, LOVE my job--and the paycheck that comes with it!
   

Employment Gratitude

I'm grateful for:

• A job that I enjoy doing
  
• The constant variety of my workday
• That I only work 17 hours a week (usually!)
  

Vacation Gratitude

I'm grateful for

• The opportunity and capability of going on vacation
• Making it to Indy safe and sound.
• A nice hotel room with a comfortable bed (even if Kevin keeps the A/C on so low that I'm freezing my toes off!)
  

Random Gratiitude

Gratitude for:

1. People who change or grow up and become, well, better human beings.
2. All the second chances I've had over the years (and some third, fourth, or even fifth).
3. Have I mentioned I'm grateful for Zoey?
   

Zoey

1. I'm extremely grateful that Zoey was strong enough to beat the Distemper.
2. I'm also extremely grateful that she doesn't appear to be too traumatized by spending more days at the vet than she did at home that first week.
   
3. I'm so grateful that she is such a cuddler and a lovey kitty.
