Just over 2 years ago, I nearly died.Some of you may remember my all-out, crazed assault against the COVID-19 pneumonia that left me hospitalized for 53 days.Things were dire, the medical records are quoted as saying, “high probability of expiration overnight”.I’d already been through so much in my life.

Long-covid is a grind. Since my 53-day hospital stay, I can realistically say that in many ways, I am a shell of my former self. The fatigue is like nothing I ever imagined prior to getting sick.

It’s now day 50-something of staying home. I’ve often written about how not many years ago I began the ability of seeing and expressing gratitude within my life.
