Thankful

So today at work, we had a department Thanksgiving lunch. Each year, we go around the table and everyone shares what they are thankful for. Of course everyone says they are thankful for their families and friends and their job and it's nice to hear that we are all blessed. As my turn came around the table, all I could think about was how thankful I am that I am able to get out of bed every day and walk.
Not many people at work know my "story" or understand that only 3 years ago, I was laying in a bed and couldn't feel anything from my waist down. The doctors told me that I may never walk again and I told them they were wrong. I'm thankful that I had the therapists to work with me for hours every day and teach me how to walk and adapt. I'm thankful that I had the doctors to care for me and to fix my body through surgery. I'm thankful for the nurses who tended to my needs and helped to keep me comfortable. I'm extremely thankful to my family for staying with me and keeping me company during the nights in the hospital and the days in physical therapy and the long weekends in the hospital when my friends were all off on adventures and I was lonely. I'm thankful that God gave me the strength to get out of bed and work in therapy for so many months.
You might think that I have been well for so long that I don't remember how far I've come, but I promise you that that isn't the truth. Every single day, I thank God that I can walk. That means I'm thankful that I can do things like the laundry and vaccum and walk at the park. Even the not so fun things in life are better to me because I'm able to do them on my own without a wheelchair and I won't ever forget that.
I know this post is redundant, but I can never ever say or convey how lucky and truly thankful I am to be where I am at in life.

I'm also thankful that I have a loving husband and supportive family. I have a job that I don't love, but it's not horrible and it allows me to do the things in life that I want to do. I have a snuggly puppy dog who brings joy to my life. We live in a good neighborhood and our neighbors are friendly and keep watch on our home. There is not much more that I could want from life and it's nice to take some time to remember and share that.

What are you thankful for?
