So...I'm home sick...

I decided to read the March Ensign cover to cover. Not the same as church but I really enjoyed it. A lot of thought provoking ideas on gratitude and saying Thank You to people. I really have a lot to be thankful for. I have good health, usually, and a wonderful home and place to live. I have great caring children and a loving husband ( with whom I shared this illness....I'm generous that way). I have freedoms that most people in the world would die to have. Mostly I have the gospel that gives me a good perspective on what really matters. I have great friends that continually show me their friendship in so many ways. All in all, if I have to stay home today, I have great reading material to keep me company! So, even though it kills to swallow and my head is pounding I really am a very lucky person!
