Today was a day that I was able to see through the clouds and see how very blessed I am. Yesterday, I had a horrible day, pain wise. Today when I woke up, the pain was less, but not significantly better. I was sad and feeling a bit sorry for myself. Then, all sorts of little blessings started revealing themselves. First, I got to sleep in. I rarely ever get to truly sleep in. I slept until 8:00. In the past 7 years, that has been almost completely unheard of. Then, the kids slept in even after that. From there, my vet, whom I am also friends, with saved me a trip to her office by looking at Puppy at her house, which happens to only be a couple blocks from me. Then a friend came over with BioFreeze to help with the pain. Another friend brought me some of her homemade pasta sauce so I wouldn't have to run to the store. Then, on my way to taking Monster to the allergist, it started to rain, and I mean completely insane, flooding rain. I called a friend, from her driveway, to ask if I could drop Sunshine off for a bit and she took her without even asking why. These are my blessings. These little things, that are really actually big things, that a lot of the time get taken for granted. These are the things that made my pain manageable today. These things made me look at my day in a different light. Instead of seeing the pain, the dog's scary lump, the kids fighting, my cable box getting fried with the storm, the roads and my yard being flooded, all my blessings helped me see the good. My pain is less today, the lump is probably just a fatty growth, the kids are truly best friends, we get to finally get a remote that works for the TV, my basement is dry, and life really is good. I am so fortunate for wonderful people in my life. I am truly blessed.
