The small things

I finally felt it all sink in and feel normal again. It has been beyond overwhelming what has happened. I now realize that is it real and not just a dream.
I'm starting to notice the little differences now. I was writing and my hand didn't hurt. Usually, I can only write for a short time and my hand will ache but yesterday I noticed that I had been writing for several minutes and my hand was fine.
Teagan and I were watching the robins in the back yard and I thought of the song "Rockin' Robin". Well I found it on youtube and Teagan and I danced. We played the song twice and danced the whole time. This would have never been possible before. I haven't been able to dance that long for years. My legs felt good and not one pain. We of course put on another song and danced some more.
I am warm. I have always been cold and now I am warm. Warm feet, warm hands and that extra layer is just too much. Now, I know it is not the nice warm spring weather making me toasty, as it is still snowing here and the temperatures are hovering near zero.
I went to bed last night not exhausted and I slept through the whole night. Again, not my usual.
There are other things that I haven't noticed yet, I'm sure. I use to wish that I could be in a healthy body for just five minutes to see what it felt like. Well now I know, it is wonderfully amazing.
If anything, my new wish is that when you read this that you feel blessed in all that you are able to do and that you never once focus on what you can't do. Enjoy!!
