*My knee got fixed.  I had awesome insurance that paid for it.
*I had the holidays with my family in our comfy home with lots of laughter and good food.  I missed respiratory season at work so I didn't get so much as a sniffle.
*I got a mental health break and was able to see work in a different light. 
*A friend from work came to see me at home and made my birthday very special. Another friend brought me a lunch. People texted and called.
*I learned that Mark will stick with me through ugly stuff, not just the happy stuff.
*I participated in jury duty, and I got to meet people from other walks of life. 
*I caught up on reading and rest.  And I got paid, which lessened the financial burden of having been home for five months.


I've been through a lot the past few months. I'm grateful.
