Thankful

Thanksgiving was last week, and in that spirit, I’ve been making a list.

I’m thankful that my eyes are open now to the world of personal health, and personal responsibility for our health. The sheer amount of information and research is overwhelming and full of promise for the future of healthcare and cancer treatment.

I’m thankful to have a slow-moving condition. I really understand how lucky I am to NOT be in the shoes so many others are — finding out they have a disease and immediately needing to make decisions while they are in shock and have had no time to think, read, plan.

I’m so thankful to be able to make these changes and then see results in my weight, fitness, and bloodwork.

I’m so thankful to be able to influence and reinforce healthy habits within my family.

I’m so thankful for the brilliant doctors and researchers I’m learning about.

I’m thankful for my library card, YouTube, and the wonderful world of podcasts.

Thankful for my husband as we spend our 33rd Thanksgiving together.🦃🍁🧡

The blessings are overwhelming sometimes.

What are you thankful for?
