Thankful Saturday, because it is never too late to be Thankful

3) I am very thankful for all the babying that my Hubby did for me while I was sick. He went out to get ginger ale and stirred all the bubbles out, made me pastina and broth when nothing else would stay down, and just generally tried to make me comfy while the virus ran its course.

4) I am thankful for Paul and his friendship and his compassion. Please read his entry that featured me a bit - Brother, can you spare a spoon? Thank you again, Paul. You rock!

5) I am thankful that I am blessed in so many other ways that it lightens the load of having a chronic illness.

There you have it... this weeks thankful list.

I will be back to give you all a bigger update later.

be well,
Dawn

A friend of mine has Lupus and one of her leg's is an inch shorter too. Just to hear her describe what it takes for her to sit in front of the computer for an hour, sometimes leaves me speechless. Its like there is this physical price or cost just to do the minimal...You, her and anyone else who suffers like this has my awe, loaded with admiration. ~Raven

Just a note: Be aware that butyoudontlooksick.com is now a blog, and the 'Spoon Theory' article is not as readily apparent as it once was. Readers may have to search for it. Check the link in my article for the direct link to it.

I am playing catch-up (finally) and I think this is my favorite entry ever! You know how to bring it home for me and re-open my eyes to what is important. Glad you're feeling better!
