I Am Back~Filled With Gratitude

I am back...and I am filled with so much gratitude.  When I left on January 31st to go into the hospital, I was first told that I would be spending five days, once I met up with one of the doctors that was doing the surgery, she told me I would be leaving that day.... a huh... That didn't happen, I ended up spending twelve nights and thirteen days in the hospital.  First and foremost, the nurses were beyond amazing and worked off their feet, a massive kudos to all of them.  Second, hospital food is atrocious... I almost gave up eating. 

Luckily a couple of my friends brought me in some real food that got me through some rough days.  Third, I am so thankful to every single person who either visited me, called me, texted me, messaged me on Facebook and brought by meals. I am one lucky girl... I had a lot of emotions to deal with, there was nothing I could hide behind, I just had to feel and that can be incredibly hard... a lot of the time..  which has given me a lot I want to write about in the next few days. 

I don't want to sit here and name everyone as this would be a long post and I might leave someone out and I don't want to do that.  I have learned a lot though, one... I am going to visit people in the hospital whenever I possibly can... two... I am going to make meals for people once I am healed... three... I am going to make the time to call/message or text people to let them know I am thinking of them.  It made a huge difference in an otherwise boring and mundane day.

I also am looking forward to no more excuses once I am given the green light and healed.... so that I can start exercising, by walking, jogging, running, yoga... you name it.  I want to be involved in my fitness and Valentina's, the times are changing for me, I want a healthy body so that I never have to go back into the hospital again.  Also, I am grateful for our health care in Canada... beyond thankful... I couldn't imagine being some place where I had to worry about the finances.  Absolutely one less thing to worry about, thank you Canada !!!

One thing I truly missed was reading and commenting on all your blogs... I love my new phone but it doesn't allow me to post easily (at least I couldn't figure it out... lol)  So, I am off to read all of your blogs... I will comment once on each person's blog to get caught up, otherwise I will be here for a week... hahaha.  Just know that I can't wait to get caught up and I really missed all of you.

I hope you all have a blessed and awesome day!

I cherish my past, I accept my present and I dream for my future ♥
