The phone rings and I reach for it, reminding myself to use my right ear, as my left ear is still blocked. (Yes, I still have swimmers ear! And I am beginning a second round of ear drop medication to try to clear it up.)
It's lucky both ears aren't blocked! I suddenly realize. Or I wouldn't be able to talk on the telephone at all! Count your blessings!!
Not long afterward I call my mother on the phone.
How are you today? I ask, hoping her sore knee hasn't gotten worse.
About the same, she replies. But I was just thinking: I'm glad I don't have the problem on both knees... Or I wouldn't be able to walk at all!
Yes, count your blessings!
