Every one of us is so lucky to live in a country which, despite all the divisions and bickering, the unbelief and disbelief in medical science, still has had scientists working literally around the clock to make effective experimental vaccines for us.
We are so lucky to have had our vaccines, or to have an appointment for vaccination.
Our world is not perfect, but I feel like we are so blessed to live in a time where millions haven't died, dropping beside us like the 1919 Influenza Pandemic.
I am thankful for the chance at a life without the oppressive worry we've known for the past year. I may always be " less than well" because of COVID-19, but I'm so glad to hopefully have years of living to do.
I personally thank God most of all for our vaccine and other treatments, and for the ones which will come at some point in the future as life and microbial life progresses and the microbes mutate again and again.
This is just my personal sense of gratitude for not dying, for praying to live and stay home, and for my prayers to be answered.
One year and one month since I contracted COVID.
Almowt all ot us have lost friends and some have lost dear relatives, and we grieve and miss them.
Live especially well for those who are gone. That's what I'm doing in my unimportant life.
