Gratitude

I live in San Diego.Right now I am 10 or 11 days off vicodin.  I am one day off ultram (doesn't feel different to me at all) but was only taking 100 mg of it the last few days.  This morning Ipicked my son up at a hotel he stayed in after the high school prom.  Im grateful that he is graduating and that he lived through prom.  He is sleeping on my sofa looking so much like a young man instead of my little boy.
I am waiting for my daughter to get here and then we are all going to the beach to body surf.
2 weeks ago I would have opted to stay home to "get work done" which means to take pills and waste time.  I wouldn't have had the energy to go body surfing!
I am grateful for the little things that I sometimes take for granted.  There are so many blessings in life.  
I am not 100% thru wds but it is getting better.  My nose is still runny, energy isn't all there, ny back is reminding me it has issues,  but its a heck of a lot better than 2 weeks ago.
