Sometimes in life you have to take time to be thankful even when it's not Thanksgiving.
Number Ten: I am thankful that God seems to put a friend, coworker, or family member in my life at the right time with encouraging words, thoughts, and prayers.
Number Nine: I am thankful that we have insurance that pays for Phil's medications that ease his pain, strengthen his bones, and yes even the chemotherapy that keeps the cancer counts down. I am also thankful for the Taussig Cancer Center at the Cleveland Clinic, ranked number one in Ohio for Cancer care.
Number Eight: I am thankful for every day that I wake up with my husband by my side.
Number Seven: I am thankful that God has given me laughter because without it I would be psycho....or maybe I am? You decide.
Number Six: I am thankful for my girls, who have been a blessing in my life to watch them grow into beautiful women. Who show support for their Dad, help him in his fight, and love him unconditionally.
Number Five: I am thankful for Murphy's Law, for without it I would think I was Eeyore.
Number Four: I am thankful God has shown me so much in the last seven years with my husband having cancer. I have learned perseverance, weakness, failures, strength, determination, love, patience, and I have learned to laugh at cancer, yes we laugh at it.
Number Three: I am thankful for the two puppies that we got, even though Phil didn't want another dog. Our puppies love and support Phil, and Phil loves them back. (And when they know he doesn't feel good, they are patient, supportive, and even protective over him-to the point where they won't even let me "bother" him)
Number Two: I am thankful for Phil's Disability. This has resulted in him being able to be home, and yet cared for with some financial ease off his mind.
Number One: I am thankful for God, for without Him, I don't know how I would make it.
