Thankful Thursday

I am grumpy so I will keep this short;

  1. I am thankful for having all of my faculties; my eyes for seeing, my ears for hearing, my legs for walking and my nose for smelling. This week I have enjoyed seeing and smelling Bluebells and wild garlic and walking through the woods. I liked seeing the different colours and textures of the grass and the catkins on the trees.
  2. I am thankful for my good friends who have listened to me and helped to lift my spirits
  3. I am thankful for having the ability to laugh when I feel like crying, smile when I feel like frowning and putting on a brave face.
  4. I am thankful for my husband who is always there for me and has supported me so much through this battle with cancer
  5. I am thankful for the wonderful doctors and medics who have helped me and continue to research cancer and find new cures

  1. Sara,
    Just wanted to pop by and say hello - I found you on Daria's blog and your post touched me - so here I am. My mother struggled through cancer. Hang there and am hoping for more "Normal" for you, Sarah

  2. The sights, sounds, textures, smells of nature overwhelm me with God's grace. I am always thankful for those opportunties to walk through His creation and savor all that it is.

    Shalom,
    Denise

  3. Remembering to take a deep breath and count my blessings really got me through a lot of hard times. I'm glad that you can see the blessings in the midst of this. I've no doubt that gift will help you now.

  4. Yes, this disease takes many things away from us. But it also gives us new eyes so that we can truly see and acknowledge the blessings in our lives. And I regularly express gratitude for the doctors and researchers. May we live to see a cure in our lifetime!
