The daily writing prompt is asking – Tell us about your first day at something, school, work, as a parent, etc.
I’ll talk about today. Being it’s the first day I’m really feeling like myself again in almost 10 days. I have a smile on my face because I’ve regained my health.
I’m going to go out and get a Christmas tree for the upstairs. I’ll assemble the artificial one for the basement and string the lights on each. I’m going to listen to music and some comedy and laugh for the first time in a while.
I’m going to eat because I feel my appetite returning. I’m going to call one of my best friends who I haven’t spoken to for a while, which is very unusual. We already facetimed our children and grandchildren and they said we look much better.
Remember the best gift you have ever been given is your health. Take care of it.

Dan, I hope your holiday season is a great one. It does feel good to be vertical.
