100 Days of Gratitude

I am grateful for my wonderful friend, Suzanne, who accompanied me to the hospital and sat with me while my husband was admitted for testing.  She is such a joyous woman, full of laughter and filled with warmth.  Extremely grateful that the tests reveled that my DH does not have heart disease.

I am grateful for many things.  Grateful to see this thread so busy.  I am very sporadic in my posting here at BC but I am so grateful for this site and everyone who is here now and before I found this site.  I can't even imagine where I would be mentally if it was not for this site.  It really hit me today as far as how I am able to come here and see what others went thru and how they coped and give and receive support.  Thank you everyone. 

Cheryl, yay for clean, neat house!

Lovewins, very nice sentiment

Honeybair, wonderful for great friends, even better your DH is ok

Day 151 (5/31): I am grateful that yesterday I was too numb and tired to argue with anyone. I I had plans yesterday to tell you In a very serious manner that I'm grateful for toilet paper (explanation to follow) and guess what appears on my FB page:

So here's the story behind the situation: my mom loves to wrap everything in toilet paper, I mean everything! Alzheimer's behavior. She often goes through a roll a day. So Dad has taken to remove the TP out of the bathroom (as well as hiding other paper products like tissue, paper towels, napkins, and zip lock bags) and gives her a handful when she goes to the bathroom (which she does several times an hour). I try to hide a roll when I'm there, but she usually finds them. Can't tell you how many times I've found myself paperless at inopportune times! (Sorry if TMI!)

Also, if you can't think of something(s) to be grateful for: think of something that you would really miss if you didn't have it (them). Hopefully, lots come to mind.

Happy June!

Grateful for a safe trip to California. Red, check out the exercise thread for pictures. Cheryl is posting some there. I can't post pictures from my 'incompatible to BCO's formatcell phone  

6/1- grateful for a fun evening out to listen to music under the stars with a friend and greater supporter whom I have not gotten together with since Feb!

Hi Red, hi Maddy!

Ruthbru- have a great time in Cali!

I'm grateful that I went on a trip it Gatlinburg yesterday even though I haven't felt very well, it had been planned for a while and I'm glad I didn't cancel. We all had a great time.

Today I'm grateful for my comfy bed. I'm wiped out today.

Honeybair- my heart goes out to you. My father had early onset dementia in his early 60s and lived 17 years with it. I am glad your mother has good care. It is a very cruel disease.

honey bear, my dad had Alzheimer's really bad for about the last 10 years of his life. He passed away last July, but the day before he died his mind was perfectly clear, like the dad we grew up with. I wish that one last clear day for you with your mom too.

Grateful that I was able to post pictures of our LA touring day on BCO, if you'd like to see Ruth and I they are posted on the Lets Post our Daily Exercise thread.

Lovely pics from the California Dreaming Ladies. Y'all have fun

Day 5:  Grateful that I was able to get my appointment so quickly and that I have a ride there.

The beach is so beautiful and calming, hbcheryl, I hope you enjoyed your walk.

Grateful for my first day of radiation treatments with wonderful technicians, amazing doctors and first class equipment. Blast away those renegade cancer cells that are roaming around trying to set up camp!

Day 153 (6/2): so very grateful to meet the California Dreaming ladies for lunch! Beyond words to say how wonderful these ladies are and the opportunity to meet them. So appreciate the wonderful kindness a more local lady who drove me there as I had too much on my mind (and the best conversations in a long time, she's such a courageous and inspiring woman!). 

I'm sure pictures will follow. 

Ann, ditto to Onco Warrior's comments.

Onco (moo!), so grateful your DD is okay!

Also grateful for the WONDERFUL lunch with the California ladies this afternoon. A PERFECT time! Now if I can survive the exercise class hbcheryl is taking us to in a couple minutes, I will be grateful for that too!
