Have you ever really procrastinated on something all day and got grumpier and grumpier with yourself for doing it? That is my day today.
Part of the challenge I set myself around writing down 3 things I am grateful each day is actually sitting down and WRITING THEM DOWN. And today I have failed miserably to do this. There are no excuses I have procrastinated on doing it. And yes I am grumpy with myself.
But, in that, there is something to be grateful for. The ability to reflect on something ( or complete lack of doing something ) and then learn from it. I have a saying “A mistake is only a mistake if you don’t learn from it” So I am grateful for the ability to learn from my mistakes.
I know that I am incredibly grateful for cereal. You wouldn’t believe how grateful I am after three years of having porridge for breakfast to help me digest the medication I was taking for my MS. Oh yes I am grateful for cereal, especially at this time of the year when I can have fresh berries from my garden on it.
Lastly I am grateful for Pharmac for funding the medication that is available here for managing the progression of MS. There is no way we could afford roughly $2k per month for the pills I have been on for the last 3 years, that’s right it would have cost us the best part of $100,000. I have no idea what the medication I am moving to in the new year is worth but based on some of the blood tests I have had over the last few weeks I’m pretty sure I do not want to know.
