Today’s looking like a rainy day so I’m looking for some things to be thankful for….

I can’t be thankful that my entire family is currently sick with some virus from hell…well at least it feels that way.

I can be thankful it doesn’t seem to be as bad for our daughter. She seems to be weathering it better than either me or her Dad are.

I can’t be thankful for the stressful class period with one of my autistic kiddos today, who out of no where was really upset about Google and their DEI policies changing. I tried my best to assure her she would be ok and direct her back to her task but I wasn’t very successful.

I can be thankful for my kiddos who let me know she was upset as this gave me an opportunity to go over and see what I could do to help her, within reason.

I can’t be thankful that some people that work in a hospital that is supposed to help people are apparently incompetent and hurt my sister.

I can be thankful that my sister loves Jesus and trusts Him to be with her always wherever she is.

I can’t be thankful that I got sick and now I can’t visit her until I’m better. No way do I want her to have whatever this is we have, my ribs hurt so much from all the coughing could you imagine what that would do to someone who’s just had surgery on their spine?

I can be thankful I didn’t get her sick.

I’m not sure I can be thankful for another bunch of rain that looks like it’s headed this way, the storm clouds are gathering as they say.

I can be thankful for all the green grass and beautiful flowers I see when I drive back home, product of all the rain we’ve gotten so far this year.

I guess that’s all I have for now. I’m tired because I’m sick. I can’t be thankful for being tired.

I can be thankful in about an hour I have a warm house to return to, blankets to cuddle under and a soft pillow to greet my head.

So today for all those gifts…I give thanks!

Sunday should have been our long run, but I got sick Saturday night so I’ve been tired. I’m going to try to lift some weights tomorrow. I did get us all signed back up in our running club, Sierra Challenge Express. We don’t run with them hardly ever, but we get some discounts here and there for different races and it supports the local running community so that’s a good thing. We did get signed up for our annual 4th of July race, something to look forward too. 🙂 KOR!
