Unexpectedly Good Day

I have always been that person who hated to take medicine unless absolutely necessary.  I take vitamins daily and when I get a headache, I take pain reliever.  But that's about it.  So today as I was taking an anti-nausea pill, a pill to help get rid of the dead cancer cells, pills to counteract the side effects of a shot I had to help build white blood cells, and the steroid prednisone, I was thinking "what the heck!!"  And I was expecting to feel drugged and sick.  Definately not the case.  I have had more energy today than I have had in weeks.  It has made me realize how long it has been since I have felt myself.  The nurse at my doctors office said it was the prednisone that is doing that.  I take that pill for 4 more days and then we'll see what happens.  In the meantime, I am grateful for feeling good and being able to get things done.

So here is my gratitude for today:
- Unexpected energy.
- Technology that makes it possible to keep in touch with family and friends easily.
- Beautiful music that soothes and uplifts.
