I'm not going to lie; this Thankful Thursday, I don't feel all mushy and gushy, and I don't have a thousand things to be thankful for floating around in my head. It's not that I'm not thankful for anything; of course I am! It's just that it's been a long week, and I find myself wishing the time away until the sunny, beautiful weekend is finally here.
In random medical news, I saw a dermatologist yesterday about a red, bumpy rash I've had on my face for a while that just didn't seem to be going away. Turns out, I have perioral dermatitis. Sounds scary, right? It's not contagious or anything, but it is an itchy, burny, not-so-pretty red pattern around my nose and mouth. I've been covering it up with makeup, but now, thanks to the antibiotic gel I've been given, my skin flakes quite easily and the makeup just isn't staying put.
Add to that the fact that my dog, Ellie, threw up her breakfast all over the living room floor this morning, just a few minutes before I had to leave for work, and I'm feeling juuust peachy today. However...
Even on the most mediocre day, there is always something to be thankful for, right? So let's get to it!
Today, I am thankful for the insurance coverage that allowed me to finally see a dermatologist, and for the medicine that will hopefully make this uncomfortable red mess go away soon.
I am thankful for my awesome, supportive, loving husband who knows how to make me smile even when I'm cranky and fighting the urge to laugh at his silliness.
I am thankful for a God who is always there, even when we're not at our best.
For my amazing parents, siblings, and the few close friends who encourage, offer a listening ear, and know just the right things to say.
For all of these things, I am thankful. And I am blessed.
What are you thankful for? I'd love it if you would write a Thankful Thursday post of your own, (don't forget to grab a Thankful Thursday button, which can be found over there --->)and leave a comment so I can go read your blog and leave some love. Happy "Friday Eve," everyone!
