Recuperation journey: Feeling grateful

When a friendly neighbor drops what she is doing to help you, that's a wonderful thing. That happened to me Sunday, and I was most appreciative.

I'd do the same for her or another neighbor, but I know from experience not everyone would! 

Gratitude is indeed the best attitude.
