On Being Brave and Being Thankful

I was looking at my Timehop app this morning, and it reminded me that, this time last year, I was sitting on my favorite grey couch (er, my only couch?), in my Finisher pajamas from 2014 Beach 2 Battleship–and knocked down sick with my second round of diverticultis.
