my liver – half full or half empty?
My health is seriously bringing me down. I have nine appointments this month with five specialists trying to figure out what exactly is going on with this poor body. I need to remember to notice and appreciate anything that’s right about my health:
*Enough energy this weekend to do my laundry and the dog’s laundry
*Insurance will cover the next expensive diagnostic test
*Got through entire month without ibuprofen, a miracle
*Bizarre treatment #27 (drinking salt water) is delicious and satisfying, who knew?
*I could think clearly enough this morning to do a homework assignment with statistics in it
*Able to take Happy on a longer walk this afternoon
*A lot of people with my symptoms have trouble sleeping, but I don’t
*I can talk and breathe and stretch and sing and blog. I can hear and cook and nap and exercise and think
*BONUS GRATITUDE: I thought up an idea for my next book, an Oprah-friendly tome based on what I’m experiencing. I’m too tired today to draft it, but I’m excited about the possibilities

this is a mighty fine list – well done.
just found your gratefulness site via boodely. I love it already.
got to reinstitute my daily exercise of 3 things to be grateful for – it might arrest the current downward spiral. Hey, I know it will!
Today, I’m grateful for the listening ears of a friend, a pat on the shoulder and understanding. And some good advice.
Look forward to reading more of your site.
