Jen's Most Recent Top Ten

(written by Jen)

These days I am the only one you'll get to hear much from. Cory is overloaded with work and school, plus an awesome opportunityI will have to have him tell you about soon. So for now, you are stuck with me.

Today I was tempted to throw myself a party. A pity party. I was thinking of all the things I CAN'T do. Shall I give you my list?

Just as I get started I am interrupted! It must be the Holy Spirit, because I am reminded that there is so much I CAN do. So why can't I focus on being thankful for all those things?

1. I woke up today.
2. I can breathe easily, on my own.
3. I can get out of bed myself.
4. I can "walk" (assisted by my lovely crutches) on my own.
5. I can use the bathroom without any assistance!
6. I can shower standing up (still kind of balancing on the left leg, but it's so much better than sponge baths)!
7. We have a desk chair on wheels I can use so I don't have to stand while rummaging around in the kitchen!
8. I can feed myself with almost no mess!
9. I can almost dress myself. It's just the right sock I can't quite manage.
10. I have a wonderful husband who has filled in all the blanks for me.

How quickly we forget how blessed we are.
