I am grateful for all the kindness, generosity, and warmth I've encountered over the last few weeks. During a difficult time that really could have brought me down, I instead feel secure and supported. Truly wonderful!

I hold gratitude in knowing all energy is connected. And that within that, all is as it should be.
My challenge for you: http://www.gogratitude.com/ |
I have a diagnosis!
Finally after a couple dozen doctors, several MRI, many xrays, bottle after bottle of meds, I have true diagnosis about my back...
ankylosing spondolitis (AS) aka Bamboo Back. Its a painful progressive chronically inflammatory disease that is genetic based. Yes, I have the slipped discs from the accident..which is what progressed the flare up of the AS. I wont get better...but we can slow the progression and treat the symptoms. I am so relieved..its not in my head. No one is going to call me a hypochondriac again. My sister and her children and my daughter all have to go in to see if they test positive for the antigen. Now that we know what it is, we can stop trying to treat the wrong thing. Want to know why land PT wasnt working for me and sometimes made it worse? Its conta indicated for this disease! Water therapy tho is best for it... I have new meds..and have an appt with water therapy next week... I am so grateful!!!! |
I am grateful that I have the vision to see how fortunate I am. Some are not so lucky.

Today I am very grateful for a life of love and relative understanding that I grew up with.
Every day I see examples in my students of how life could have been, of how it is for so many. Yesterday one of my students mothers came to school and withdrew them from our school, without any prior notice. It turns out that this students step-father has been beating the mother. The student already deals with a number of physical and mental issues causing delays in their education and difficulty in their life. How terrible to also have to deal with the emotional effects of an abusive parent. Today I gained a new student on a temporary basis, while his usual teacher is out with pneumonia, he refuses to work with the substitute that is in the classroom. I was briefed on the child and it made me so sad. He has physical problems which make it hard for him to write for long periods of time and so qualifies for special education even though he is academically on par with other students. What is so hard for this student is that he lives with his grandparents because his mother is a drug addict and his father is in and out of prison. Dad comes around often enough to be a bad influence, but little more. That said, I am grateful for my Mormon, overbearing, protective, smothered upbringing. My parents love me, maybe not unconditionally but they truly love me. They always provided for me and encouraged my emotional and educational development. To many children don't get that. |

I'm grateful for my love...
She is always there when I need her.. She holds me together when I am fraying apart.. She gives me room when I need to be strong... She waits until I *schedule* my break down.. understanding my need for control.. says.. *Your plummings leaking again..* when I leak tears, because I don't want to give into them... Then in the night.. she wraps that big strong arm around me, pulls me into her tight, and I let everything that I'm been holding at bay out.... All the pain, all the fear, all the sorrow.. It's all poured out on to her shoulder... She is my rock, my foundation, my strong right arm... I am enternally grateful that she allowed me to peel her like an onion.. finding her layers.. letting me learn her... trust her, love her beyond compare... |
I'm grateful for the ability to read. Even with all the quirks and difficulties I have with reading, it opens so many things. I met a man today that can't read and it made me realize I have taken that ability for granted for too long.
Thanks teachers! |
Today my gratitude lies in the sunshine...lord it feels so good to feel spring coming on. It heats my bones up and clears my head and brightens my spirits. Today is a wonderful day for movement. Even if it hurts!

Although there are some severe and perhaps long-term side effects, I am grateful that there exists medications that help me continue to work, play and simply live! i am also grateful that I am not the kind of person that believes every single prescription drug is bad- of course, this thinking usually comes from someone that has no illnesses or disabilities to deal with... Guess I am grateful for recognizing that it isn't easy to have to make these decisions and weigh the good against the bad.

Today I am really grateful for the acknowledgment and praise that those above me have been giving me at work. It is so good to know that something I enjoy so much is noticed and appreciated, and that I am indeed making a difference.
