Day 21- Gratitude Project

Today, I’m grateful for my health. I have barely been ill in a number of years, and for that, I’m extremely thankful. If I were to get sick, it would be difficult for my family to lose money from missed work, and should I get very sick, it would be devastating. However, I eat well, moderately exercise, and don’t have many vices… (Aside from coffee and the occasional alcohol, there aren’t any). I normally avoid colds and the flu, but typically get a little something nasty in the winter time, most of the time due to allergies.

I am glad that I have my health and the wherewithal to maintain it to the best of my ability. It’s sometimes the only thing we can be thankful for during those days in which things don’t seem to be going right or where there are challenges. Today is not particularly challenging, I just have had a difficult week chasing down paperwork and dealing with difficult situations. These have made me recognize that if I weren’t healthy, these things would be significantly worse to cope with. I am so thankful that not just I am healthy, but also that my husband and baby are too. We are especially fortunate, since so many others cannot say the same.
