Tomorrow I go in to hospice. I know that Thanksgiving is right around the corner and I have been counting my blessings.
Here are some things I am grateful for...
Family - we had our dysfunctions like everyone else, but at the core there is love.
Friends - old and new, they help me through my days. Some have gone above and beyond during this journey.
Travel - I have been to so many lovely places in the past 13 years.
ALS - I will never be happy I got this disease, but there are some positive things...I raised awareness and funds for the cause. I heard from many about my meaning in their lives. And apparently I have a great smile.
Care - the clinic where I went couldn't have been better. All the staff were open, kind, and helpful.
Support - the ALS BC group provided me with things I needed right from the get-go...info, support groups, equipment, psychologist, and more.
Margaret - despite her protestations that it didn't come naturally, she has taken very good care of me through this journey.
There are so many other things, too numerous to mention.
My energy is failing, so I will sign off now.
Keep me in your thoughts.
Sheila
