This week is thanksgiving and I am thankful for so many things. I thought I would make a list. Maybe you might like to think of all you are grateful for this week.

• The God who holds my hand through thick and thin
• my wonderful family
• my fantastic friends
• my church
• my cosy home
• my work - so supportive
• the dialysis nurses who make me feel so welcome
• the surgeon who did such a good job
• the nurses on the ward who looked after me so well
• my oncologist
• my rheumatologist
• warm blankets
• Autumn leaves and sunshine
• my Kindle
• my nest!
• twinkly lights
• my card wall
• butterflies which surround me
• my hats
• my hair returning
• my PJs
• my bed
• books and book clubs
• bible study group
• housegroup
• yummy cakes made by friends
• Chinese chequers
• coffee in the morning

There are so many things which make my life a happy place. I am truly thankful.

Today brings lots of excitement. We are going to look at a kitten who may come and live with us. More about that tomorrow - all being well. I am also off to the hospital to have the wound checked. It is feeling ok. Not too sore at all and I am getting more movement each day. I am looking forward to being able to sleep on that side again. Hopefully they will refer me to the physio next week so that they can sort out my scapula which pops out when I move my arms. It doesn't hurt but I am thinking it might after a while.

I am making plans for next Sunday when we are having an engagement lunch for Josh and Debz. Hopefully I will have enough energy to enjoy it.

I hope your week is full of thanksgiving.
