Day #21 in A Year of Thanks: I'm thankful for going to the Emergency Room. I woke up this morning so weak and lightheaded. I tried to keep myself hydrated and eat, but this morning was a morning of losing fluids faster than I could keep it. I reached a point where I felt disoriented, … Continue reading Day #21 in A Year of Thanks

Day #20 in A Year of Thanks
Day #20 in A Year of Thanks: I'm thankful for this three-day weekend. I did not know what to expect for this three-day weekend, but I certainly wasn't expecting it to have so many ups and downs like a rollercoaster. Friday down, Saturday up, Sunday down, Monday up. After Grams was sent to the hospital … Continue reading Day #20 in A Year of Thanks
Day #19 in A year of Thanks
Day #19 in A Year of Thanks: I'm thankful my grandma's getting the medical help she needs. It has been a day. It started off with Grams waking me up in her bout of confusion and not being able to keep her balance. We both knew something was seriously wrong, so I called the ambulance, … Continue reading Day #19 in A year of Thanks
Day #18 in A Year of Thanks
Day #18 in A Year of Thanks: I'm so thankful I can tolerate food and water again. Usually, when I'm sick with the flu, I lose about 2 pounds a day because I can't tolerate food or even water for a good five days or so. I literally have to sip on Gatorade, and it's … Continue reading Day #18 in A Year of Thanks
Day #17 in A Year of Thanks
Day #17 in A Year of Thanks: I'm thankful for my sofa. I know this one seems a bit strange, but whenever I'm sick with the flu or a cold that is bad enough to affect my ability to breathe, I camp out in the living room on one of my sofas. We cover our … Continue reading Day #17 in A Year of Thanks
Day #16 in A Year of Thanks
Day #16 in A Year of Thanks: I'm thankful for a bunch of over-the-counter cold remedies. Tonight's post of thanks will be short, though I'm skipping today's positivity post because I simply don't have the energy. After going to urgent care yesterday, I tested positive for COVID-19, which is the first time ever for me … Continue reading Day #16 in A Year of Thanks

Day #125 in A Year of Positivity
"Just one small positive thought in the morning can change your whole day."—Dalai Lama I woke up this morning around 7 a.m. with my throat hurting like crazy. I knew it was coming because I started getting sick yesterday with minor throat discomfort and my energy levels dropping significantly below the red line (for me). … Continue reading Day #125 in A Year of Positivity
Day #124 in A Year of Positivity
Today's post won't share any special quote of positivity because I want to take it in a different direction. It is nearly impossible to be 100% positive all the time because we're not robots. We are human beings with many complex emotions ranging from positive to negative, and that's not necessarily bad. Events, situations, and … Continue reading Day #124 in A Year of Positivity
Day #14 in A Year of Thanks
Day #14 in A Year of Thanks: I'm thankful for the Gift of Creativity. Aside from the song I wrote the other day, I cannot remember the last time I tuned into the poetic side of my creativity. I typically associate poetry with romance, and my heart was pretty closed off to romance for quite … Continue reading Day #14 in A Year of Thanks
