I was extremely grateful for the hydro workers who spent the night under harsh conditions restoring power to customers in this area. It is so cold here it took four hours for the furnace to raise the temperature in the house from twelve C to 18 C. Power was off for nine hours.

Yeah, it can take a while for a house to heat up, eh. We turned the temp down while we were away and it basically took from dinnertime (when we got home) to bedtime to get the place warmed up.

Grateful for the ability (both the technology and a workplace that supports it) to work from home so I did not have to venture out today. Cold and almost constant light snowfall.
 
I give thanks this day for all the amazing elites and ordinary folx who hour by hour by their endeavours and inventions that have produced the safest form of travel allow me to see my bro as he arrives from the Land of the Long White Cloud back to Turtle Island

Of course, in the rain lol
 
On should have grace for the Daze as a given before night falls upon you with all those horses ... grace is said to be a given ... and then it goes ... place of denied dreams if the tyrants have their way in avarice ... they love needless war and booty ... on the other hand ... an alternate struggle ... just keep one's head up ...
 
Haven't popped into this thread lately.

Today I give thanks to pharmacists, chemists, family doctors, pharmaceutical companies and antibiotics.

Slept for 2-3 hrs in a stretch last night as meds had started to work. (Night before was an hour).

Most symptoms are gone.

Hallelujah
Give thanks

Imagine apotheosis! Said to be a peak position when on a high ... apocalyptic? Then the entire field of wrong words ... as if a period of unawareness or the cursive WOKE! Thus we rest ... in the abstract as if having a vue of imagination ... will it reciprocate or come back at us a Newton hinted in action and reaction?

We thus rise to COS Moes ... that great aye out of here ... resembling occipital depths ... the hind brain? Said to be a carrier of as is ... light in the following function?
 
Today, I give thanks for my spouse.

He came home to get me and drive to the doctor. He's been running in samples and picking up meds

He has shifted back to making dinner and doing all my laundry.

He makes me smile, delivers tea.

But tonight he changed the bed and made it look inviting , folding back the sheets, fluffing pillows.

So thankful
 
I should probably edit that post re meds.

I do give thanks for them. I had quick relief from the med (it is a one dose med)

Sadly i had gotten sicker prior to getting it..and it didn't kick it

So now, i give thanks to stronger meds. May take longer, more side effects, but should be fully gone in 10 days
 
Today I am grateful to know that it is still legal for me to drive with my poor vision. Actually. I limit myself to 'rarely drive' and 'only in my hometown'. Losing that bit of independence wasn't something I wanted!

I contacted my nieces and nephews in England to advise them about their own eye health as what I have can be heritable. Pretty simple really - if you seem to be getting age related macular degeneration ask them to check to ensure it isn't vitelliform. Chances are it won't be as it is considered rare.

Seems weird to me that I have TWO health challenges considered rare. Lung fungus and eye disease. If swearing would help I'd do it! The lung fungus doesn't seem to be responding to treatment and there is no treatment for the eye disease. Mutter, mutter.

'Happy' belated rare disease day, it was yesterday. I have 3 and maybe 4. Apparently they like to cluster :(
 
Sigh. All my diseases are too common to merit recognition on rare disease day. I guess I am thankful for that, but also send good vibes to those not so fortunate.
 
I've never seen my eye disease mentioned when people talk about rare diseases. My eye doc figured there were only a handful of cases nationally. I'm the only one he has seen.
 
At a mtg this evening, our local city councillor mentioned that Astra Zeneca is opening a very large R&D facility (500 jobs) focused on 'rare diseases' - so that was interesting. I am grateful that research is going on in these fields, and its occuring here in Canada.
 
I give thanks today that someone i love heard the words "it's not cancer".

Lots of other stuff to deal with, but, cancer holds such a deathly fear, legitimately earned, that we are thrilled that it isn't .
 
Some say thank god it is not me and its the M ... the entire other! Couldn't be me in the denial function ... quite unreal vision if one were to abstractly ponder the topic at hand ... divining!
 
I'm giving thanks today for my doctor.

He's just a conscientious guy with a great personality. I lucked out

He got my UTI cultures back, read them and responded by ordering a different antibiotic on Sunday! I hope he is caring for himself but do appreciate the attentiveness
 
I'm also thankful for a son who is willing to try new foods. So appreciate my kids healthy attitudes to food
 
This morning I was giving thanks for being still able to feel pain. It might hurt at times but I would rather feel pain and still be on this side of the earth's surface than not be here at all.
