Tom & me in Sienna, Italy, Sept. 2007
It has definitely been a rough couple of weeks here at Love Your Life, but I have also had a lot to be grateful for at the same time. Here are just a few of the things that I am thankful for:
Tom got his staples taken out of his arm today, and is on the road to recovery. We have been doing a lot of driving around lately, which makes me crazy, but after one more doctor’s appointment this afternoon, we should be getting back to “normal” after today. Tom will have physical therapy a couple of times a week for awhile, but the clinic is fairly close to the house, so it shouldn’t be too problematic!
Next, I feel very lucky to have wonderful friends around me! I am grateful to our friend Laura, who drove Tom’s car home from the airport when he wasn’t able to drive. I am ridiculously indebted to our friend Kelly, who brought me doughnuts while Tom was in surgery, drove me to the airport to pick him up at 11:00 at night, and stocked our freezer with a ton of frozen veggies so that Tom would have something to ice his arm with when he got home. And I am also grateful to our friend Maggi, who lives in Massachusetts but sent us beautiful flowers to let us know that she was thinking of us.
And, finally, I am so thankful that we are going on vacation in less than three weeks!!!! This is the first time that I am mentioning it here, but I am turning the Big 4-0 next month, and quite awhile ago I decided to throw myself a birthday trip to Belize!!! Recent events have forced us to change plans a bit, but, as a result, we get to go to Belize twice – next month and in March, 2010!! It is a long story, but I am really happy with the way that everything worked out, and I am looking forward to getting some much needed relaxation in just a few short weeks!!!
Just one more thing -- I also believe that I should be able to get back to more regular posting now, which I am also very excited about!!!!
