My Grateful List

I dragged myself out of bed at the unnatural hour of 3 a.m. Yawn. But it’s for a good cause. The Man and I are flying up to Massachusetts to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family. I’m not thankful for early a.m. flights or airport food, but I am thankful for a few other things. I leave you with my Grateful List.

1. The Man. I’m thankful that he’s my nurse, chef, housekeeper, chauffeur, personal shopper, and therapist when my knees are screaming in pain. And he does it all without complaining.
2. My family. Especially during this move, I’m grateful for my family’s help. My mother spent four days packing, cleaning, and painting our old apartment. Then she unpacked the new one. And The Man’s father and brother helped us move so we didn’t have to pay for pros.
3. Bones. The show got me through my first round of PRP. I don’t know how I would have dealt with the pain (Vicodin, perhaps?) if I couldn’t fixate on the would-be romance between the two sleuths.
4. Amazon.com. It’s a shopaholic girl’s best friend when her knees are too weak to hit up brick-and-mortar stores.
5. My new place. No more waking up in the middle of the night to click-clacking above us. Which means I’m also thankful for sweet sleep.
6. Silly Dancing. The last time I started feeling down about my knee pain, I watched this guy dance his way around the world and instantly cheered up.

What are you thankful for? Leave your Grateful List in the comments.
