Yep, its that time of year again. Most of you are at home, a day or so off work, something baking in the oven, wonderful smells fill the air.
Thanksgiving, American style.
This year, again I have much to be thankful for. My friends, you guys, Im still alive and Ms. Paige who stumbled into my life.
I have known many of you for years, altho we have never met. We traveled to many places, been there for one another and just had so damn good fun. Also, this year brings us many new friends, welcome to the Blood Pearls all ye War Pigz, you are now considered friends as well as team mates.
My recent Doctor visit yielded great news for Ol Vettie. My liver still functions at better than 90% (a miracle considering it had completely stopped and my body was shutting down), my back, altho it will never be the same, is holding up pretty good even tho these cold mornings remind me I still have lots of lovely hardware inside, my diabetes is completely under control. My weight is down to just about 200 (before lunch today, anyway). My doctor took me off all medications, except some for my liver and some pain meds.
Paige has reminded me that you are only as old as you feel. You guys remind me that friends are true. My 'real life buds' have also been a big boost to me.
So take the time, remind yourself of what you have to be thankful for and look around to those you know and those you dont know and remind yourself just how lucky you are.
Be thankful. I know I am
