365 Days of Gratitude Rollover day 20

I am very grateful I got to work with 2 chronic pain patients yesterday that reminded me of how much Spinal Cord Stimulation can change someone's life for the better.  These patients were beaming!
Both patients from different physicians pracites sharing their story of how bad off they were when they started and how far they have come. These pts had smiles from ear to eat, they are engaging in life and off their pain meds):):):).
I have always known the benefit and that is why I have worked with the therapy so long, however, it is so wonderful  to continually be reaffirmed from the patients themselves and their families :):):)

365 Days of Gratitude Rollover day 4

Good Moring;)

I am grateful I was able to change from my noisy room and got moved to one on the fourth floor. I woke up to a beautiful silhouette of palm trees with a burst of the sunrise through the clouds behind them.

Quick appetizer or side dish:

Sauté oyster mushrooms (or better yet a combo of oyster and crimini) in a tablespoon of back truffle oil (finally found some at Trader Joes) with a bit of salt and pepper.

Sauté for about 5 minutes and voila ;););)

365 Days of Gratitude Rollover day 1

A year ago I decided to challenge myself to write down 365 days of Gratitude as I felt I had so much to be grateful for :).
Fast forward, I did it!!!! I completed all 365 days - it went fast. I learned that it is all the simple things that I am truly grateful for in life ......... Family, friends, nature, and the ubundance of options and opportunity.
Moving forward, I miss documenting my daily gratitudes so I am rolling it over for another 365 :):):).

My hope this time around is that you share with me what you are grateful for as well........

Today I am so grateful that God has a greater plan and knows how and when to set us on the better course. I am grateful for this beautiful day, the never ending encouragement my husband gives me to pursue DoggsLife.com, the walk I took with my dog and the rose that was hiding that I found and got to enjoy its aroma.

Find your daily gratitude, share with us all and enjoy everyday as if it was your last.

Xo!


Viva la DoggsLife!!!!  Why should Dogs have all the fun;)
