Things that bring me JOY right now!!

A friend of mine challenged a bunch of us to write about things that bring Joy into our lives on our blogs so here is my list!

1. My husband who has fully loved and supported me during this time. I hate to tell the rest of you girls, but I think my husband ROCKS!

2. Zachary and Isabella they are the best and I do not need to say anything else!

3. My extended family and my wonderful friends. You do not know how much I love and appreciate each and everyone of you. I do not know how I'm going to repay you all for all of the love, support, and service that you have provided and continue to provide, but I promise I will pay it foreward in the future.

4. My Faith. If I did not have my Faith I would be lost. I truly love my Savior.

5. Even though my medication makes me sleepy ,and by the way my Neurologist adjusted my dose today, I love my medication right now that provides me relief from headaches!

6. The bike at LA Fitness. Even though I cannot ride it for very long and someone has to be standing next to me it feels awesome to be moving right now even if it is for just a few minutes.

7. Car rides that so many of you have been willing to take me on since I cannot drive right now.

8. My warm and heavy levi quilt that used to be Kirk's but it is now mine. This quilt has been with me since the ICU days and continues to be with me each night.

9. Guided Imagery C.D.'s that help me relax.

10. My friends, who make me laugh, and you know who you are!

11. Great food and we have all enjoyed some really awesome food lately.

12. As weird as it sounds my doctors and my therapists who consistently make sure I have the best care so eventually I can make a full recovery and fully enjoy my life once again.

13. Books! It is so nice to get lost in a great book.

14. Music! I love kicking back and listening to music.

15. My Life! The stroke sucked, but I'm so happy to be alive so I can still enjoy my family and friends.
