Sick-Day Gratitude

We are both nursing colds here and slowing even more than usual. Still, there are so many graces. "God is always good, and I am always loved," to borrow Ann Voskamp's phrase.  I lift open hands and heart in gratitude to God for

someone to share germs with,

lots of fuzz therapy from E-doggy,

readily available medications and medical care,

windows for watching the beautiful fall weather and birds,

one more inch of rain,

chicken soup and spicy Chinese food,

hot tea and cold diet 7-up,

"abundantly available help" in God,

disposable tissues,

breathing steam,

permission to stay home and unplug,
prayers for recovery without complications,

quiet rest.

(from the gratitude journal, #1913-1928))
