My Gratitude List 07/14/12

As always, I have many reasons to be grateful this week.  Among them:

• I am thankful, as I try always to be, for my family who loves me.  Mom and I have not seen much of each other this week, but this afternoon, we’re going to see a movie, which should be lots of fun.  I spoke with sister J., out in San Diego, and she seems to have started into a nice summer, although this is her first time in years working through the school summer vacation.  Everyone is healthy and well, and that in itself is a huge blessing.  And Mom and I may have taken a step toward relieving her inflammation.  I’ll report on that soon.
• I am grateful that I finally got off my ass and scheduled an appointment with my PCP about my skin issues.  The itching is getting to be awfully distractive, and I expect my PCP will refer me to a dermatologist.  This week, I found the very first reference I’ve seen on symptoms like mine — very interesting!
• I have finally gotten my new blog going:  The Sun Drips Honey.  This is the new home for my poetry;  it’s taken me a while, but the site is up and running!  Three months ago, I would never have considered myself a poet at all.  Now, I am a poet.  Maybe soon, with a little more practice, I will be a good poet — I think I might have that potential.  And for that I am grateful indeed.

I have so much to be thankful for — I wouldn’t have believed it a couple of years ago.  And for that, I am thankful, as well.
