Do I know how to ring in the New Year or what???!!
I had emergency surgery on New Year's Eve. I'm not sharing details here, no worries, I'm on the mend, but I thought
this was worth writing.
The photo below was when my hospital roommate and I were laughing about how we are "crazy party gals." 💃💃

It's hard to actually sleep in a hospital because the wonderful nurses do their jobs and keep checking on their patients.
So... as the last moments of 2018 went past, I was
recovering from surgery, lying on a hospital bed,
and thinking about all the people and things
I'm thankful for.
It's not a bad way to ring in the New Year;
being very, very thankful.
It was therapeutic for me to count my blessings.
Look at these beautiful flowers my brother sent me!
Here's part of my thankful list. Some of these might seem silly but I'm not joking:
TONY
Angelo, Abba, Dominic, Emily, Lorenzo
Sweet family and friends who love me and pray
Health Care professionals who do their best work
Pain medicine
Warm blankets
Health Care System, Diagnostic Testing
Clean water
Comfortable bed
Itches that I could reach easily
Short moments of quiet so I could rest
Comfy nightgowns
Delicious soup
Beautiful 'Get Well' Cards
Aren't these flowers from my sweet friend gorgeous?
Those reindeer on the left are real fingerprints!!
So, if you're like me and you don't really do New Year's Resolutions, why not make a little (or big) thankful list??
It did my heart good while in the hospital and
helped me on the road to recovery at home.
It just might be good for you too!
