Thursday Thankfulness
So I’ve learned that I have bronchitis , which explains a great deal, like why I couldn’t breathe yesterday. However, lack of oxygen will not keep me from showing gratitude today!
1. I am thankful for my extended family for insisting that I go to the doctor today instead of tomorrow. An extra day without antibiotics would not have been the best idea in the world.
2. I am thankful that Gus has found a sport and a team that he can enjoy and feel accepted just as he is. Yet, I am also thankful that there isn’t a game this weekend because he really needs to recuperate from his illness this week.
3. I am thankful that the music and headphones strategy has so far been working nicely. Did I mention that when he was home sick on Tuesday, he sat for several minutes writing a story without me having to check on him once? I set him up, told him what he needed to do, and he did it independently while I helped MM with her homework. That was an amazing thing. And the story was pretty funny too! I found a Halloween writing prompt online, just to give him something to do besides TV watching, and he wrote about a ghost who couldn’t spell ghost (he spelled is gost). Totally stream of consciousness, totally funny.
Please share your gratitude in a comment and have a healthy week!
