thankful for this day.....

I am so thankful that I woke up this morning and was able to get out of bed, dress myself, let my little dog out to do "her business", feed her, fix myself breakfast, do a couple of loads of laundry, make my bed and straighten up a little. The next thing is to  take a short nap...Then more laundry, fix a light dinner since Steve has to work tonight, and hopefully I will have the energy to unload the clean dishes from the dishwasher, so I can put the days dirties in it. It is not the most exciting things to do on a monday, but for me it will take most of the day to accomplish, and I am so very thankful that even tho the progress is slow, if I stick to it and stay determined, there are so many things I can do. Some are still a bit difficult, but many just need to be adjusted...some are still out of my range...but I am determined that I will do everything I can when I can and I will not feel guilty if the dishes do not get done, or the floors aren't vaccumed & scrubbed...it sure is much easier now than it was after surgery...I had help for 2 weeks after surgery and then I was on my own...that was almost so hard that it made me want to give up but you can't...even when it is difficult, do your best, push yourself, do not give up & have hope, hope that all the pain will go away and bring you to the day you can say I am thankful for this day...
