Day 4 - I'm Thankful for Getting Over this Cold

My last couple of thankful days have been more monumental. This one doesn't seem as big, but still is something to be thankful for. I rarely get sick and when I do, I usually bounce back fairly quickly. This cold in particular has been kind of weird. I've had it since October 20. The only reason I know that is because that was the day I had a doctor's appointment and got a flu shot. I was already sniffly and stuffy then and the nurse said the shot would have nothing to do with me getting sick or sicker.

It seemed as though things were clearing up, but I still had some coughing and sniffles the last couple of weeks and then I felt like poo on Sunday after a cold night at the football game. Last night I had a coughing fit as I was going to bed. But it was a dry, heaving cough and that usually lets me know that I'm getting better. It's the kind of cough you have when you take a deep breath and all you can do is cough to exhale. Anyways, I woke up this morning feeling better than have in the last couple of weeks.

So I'm thankful for my health and that makes everything better. I know that it's always a possibility for these things to take a turn for the worse, but I feel like I'm coming out of it. I wonder if that glass or wine (or two) helped last night :)
