And "the Cloud" is lifting.....

I've been thinking the cloud (of sickness) was lifting for the last 3 days but today's the first REAL day that I felt a little like myself....

1) I brushed my hair and teeth in the same hour today. There were days this week that both didn't happen in the same day.

2) I cared enough to put things away and carry something with me to the other end of the house in every trip. (that's my BIG secret ....don't walk anywhere for any reason without taking something that belongs in that area)

3) I walked to the other end of the house. Most days this week....I didn't leave my bed.

4) We left the house and actually went somewhere. First time, I went voluntarily anywhere since Tues afternoon. We went to Ghouls at Grassmere (Halloween event at the zoo). It was great to get out of the house, but WAY too cold.

5) I am grateful again! I have grown a grateful heart about the smallest of things in the last few years, but I don't remember saying thank you for anything this week. I was just surviving... As I get better, I am thankful for the sickly days as I truly am grateful for our health.

Can't wait to share pics of Willie's Halloween costume with you which he donned at Ghouls at Grassmere....coming soon!
