365 Days of Gratitude Rollover day 178

Here it is, New Years Eve!  A lot has occurred since my last blog.........Many life changes including surgery.  I am grateful that the surgery went very well.  I was terrified of doing it having never had surgery before and this was a big one.  I am grateful that recovery is going well (slow but well).
I am grateful to my family and friends for being such a great support system and being there every step of the way......I couldn't have done it without them.
I am grateful for the little snippets of normalcy that I have been granted over the last two months as most days I wake up and know that everything is upside down right now. I trust in God and know that all will end up how it is suppose to and there are great things on the other side of this turmoil.  As with surgical healing, I have to be patient with the process.
I have a lot of time to think, recover, ponder and assess.......that is good and bad :-)
I know that if you have family and friends, good health, food, a safe environment, a roof over your head with a warm bed to sleep in.........you are one of the lucky ones and have much to be grateful for.....I know I do.

I wish you all the happiest of New Years and all the wonderful blessings life can bring you for a wonderfully enriched 2015!!!

A Warm Bed :-)

I am grateful I got to carve out some early am time to go for a ride :):):) Wow! What a difference the new seat makes.....it brought back the joy to riding! That is twice now that I have gone for a ride and didn't have to adjust once or even stop for that matter. Should have gotten it a year ago instead of torturing myself and my lady parts. If you ride, check out the "Selle Italia Diva Gel"(on sale at www.Doggslife.com under Triathlon Essentials)  WELL WORTH THE INVESTMENT!
