Joy is the Simplest Form of Gratitude

I awoke the last two mornings smiling and happy. I just love my life and am thankful for everything I have.
I am thankful for a multitude of things:
my great husband,
my “sweet pea”,
my only having sporadic fever and headaches now and then (no longer constant all day/all night, my decrease in neuropathy (almost nil),
my eye pain is gone,
my fatigue is not every day now,
my not having to use knee braces or a cane anymore,
my being able to read a book again,
my sensitivity to wearing clothes is gone,
my breasts don’t hurt anymore,
my rash has stopped spreading, etc.
A thankful heart is a happy heart.



I have been crying the last three days straight, and I am very weepy. So, I need to vent. 

Yes, I got scared! Three days in a row I had sharp pains, like pins poking in my left eye. Why did I get scared? Because the first time around I had these symptoms and I lost my sight. Albeit, it was short-lived but an experience I would never like to repeat. Lucky my “baby girl” sensed it before I knew it was coming. (Superdog!) She threw herself at me until I sat down and she was on me…seconds later it was black. She’s my special companion–she’s now 12. My pooch was paralyzed from Lyme Disease a year and a half later from her neck down her body; she recovered. That’s another long story.
