Sick

I can't certainly be grateful for being sick... For having pneumonia in the middle of summer and accruing diagnostic fees and copay charges and driving around town trying to see varied doctors. Especially not grateful for having to sleep propped up in a chair. But, I am grateful for the fact that I CAN see doctors and get medication. I'm grateful my work is understanding and I have the flexibility to head out to appointments or leave early. I'm grateful that Robert brings me flowers and rubs my head and asks how I feel, even if I don't warrant the same amount of sympathy I'd like. I understand it's old. And I need to talk to my doctor about it, but I have the chance. And I will get better. And I can still do things like watch movies with Lauren and kayak the Cochituate and shop to move... And I'm also apparently hilarious running trainings on cough medicine. (Which I'm also grateful for - I'm a kick-ass workshop runner).

Time to get back being grateful regularly.
