Thankfulness

Since I took medical leave 2 weeks ago I've somehow come to a peace that feels very good. I realize how much I love my family, friends and all those that surround me whether in person or through email, text, or facebook.

My new found contentment has brought me to the point that it makes me smile to wash clothes, drive my children around or just sit on the couch talking for hours on end. Chelsea and Cody spent most of Wednesday with me. They've been coming over more and more and I love it. I wish I could do more for them.

I love spending time with Paul, Justin and Jacob. After my knee surgery, I want to be able to shop with Chelsea, hike with Jacob, take Justin places he has never seen in Texas, and travel with Paul without needing to rest, take tylenol, etc...for my knees.

Though my abdomen still hurts constantly and I feel I have slowed down to almost a stand still, I think this will be short term. 2011 looks to be a wonderful opportunity.
