A Week of Thanksgiving 2017 edition Day 6

Posted By on November 25, 2017

Getting home was pretty much textbook with minimal traffic. Once back on the island, we avoided shopping malls and other places were traffic was going to snarl. I am thankful for traffic apps that allow us to make decisions about which path to take home without having to guess why we are just sitting there.

 

I am thankful for having health insurance. I had a mammogram that showed that I have a calcified lymph node, something I knew about. I am going to be having others tests later this month just to make sure that overall I am healthy. This is costing me money but not as much as if I had to pay it on my own or for the consequences of not having the tests and something going horribly wrong.

 

I am thankful for a working vehicle. Public transport may be great in the Big Apple but out here you need a car to get around in a timely fashion.

 

I am thankful for a roof over my head. I have a number of friends who, for various reasons, are dealing with not having a roof or secure place to live. I have lived here longer than I have lived anywhere else. It is home and I love it.

 

I am thankful for a gym close enough to walk to. The fact that the Y also has an indoor swimming pool is a plus. There I can work out and take some me time.

 

I am grateful to where I live and who I live with.
