We are working with our grandkids to pause before meals and express thankfulness. Beyond food, family and friends, we get some surprises once in a while - Legos, exercise, and tablets (computer time) have been a few.

Today, I am thankful for vaccines. I am old enough to remember losing friends to Scarlet Fever and pneumonia, knowing people who lived with post-polio disabilities that led to early death. I am also endangered by lung disease and other conditions, so without flu, pneumonia, shingles, Covid & RSV vaccines, I would be very isolated.

And for ibuprofen and ice to ease the discomfort of choosing to get 2 vaccines the same day, and less then 2 weeks after my flu shot!
