I'm grateful for the wonderful care I got that ended about a year ago. The caregivers for my chemo and radiation were wonderful. My oncologist was also.
I'm grateful for the daughter who came and stayed with me for 2 months when I felt so horrible she kept looking in on me to see if I was still alive.
I'm grateful for my 4 children who take care of my property , buy my groceries for me and invite me to parties.
I'm grateful for my two cats that snuggle with me all the time and my parrot who shrieks when the Ride-On bus arrives to take me somewhere, to let me know they are there.
I'm grateful for the Cancer Society that pays for my bus rides to medical appointments.
I'm grateful for the 22 beautiful oak studded acres I live on, and will, until I can no longer live alone.
I'm grateful for the elation I felt 3 days ago when my grocery cart got away from me in the parking lot and I sprinted after it like a 40 year old. (I'm 80 and not long ago I was propping myself up against buildings when I went on a walking tour in Seattle.)
I'm grateful for everything and everyone that has helped me on this journey. For you guys here too, whose wonderful advise I look for.

Thank you for posting all of this! What a wonderful exercise in gratitude for life. I also have a few parrots that shriek at me when something is amiss. It warms my heart to read your story.
Are you feeling mostly healthy again now?

What a great story - surrounded by nature, your cats, your parrot and of course your family who took great care of you - you are blessed! And sprinting after your grocery cart proves one thing - 80 is just a number and you my dear are Number One and on the recovery list right now. I'm grateful there are people like you who knows the beauty in life and shows gratitude for every moment. You are blessed!
