Things to Appreciate Along the Way

It is so nice to have little things to appreciate in life and how important they become when things are a bit rough!
This go round has continued to be easier than the first two.  One thing that has been significantly better is that the burning/acid feeling in my stomach and intestines has been so much milder.  Can't account for that but I will take it!
Each day that I am not crammed full of meds is also a good day...even those meds that help alleviate side effects!  What a relief it is to not have to put more "stuff" into this old body!
And, that brings me to the antidepressant...it did not last long.  While it certainly stopped my weepiness, it brought on sleeplessness and a feeling of being wired.  Glad it was optional...

To my brother, Jim and his wife, Ann, thank you for the gift of spring bulbs...they are beginning to bloom and bring joy!


A special word to my sister, Annie, who has been most faithful in checking in with me each day by text.  Thank you!  (I know all my other sibs care, too!)

The tasty, healthy gift of meals continues to be a blessing for us...especially Gary, since he has taken on the job of meal planning!

A little PS
     Gary has had a cold this past week and so far, I have been spared...hope that continues for both our sakes.
