Today I Am Thankful
Today was a very usual day. I woke up at 6:15 and began the everyday morning ritual. Shower, do my hair, makeup, etc. etc. At 7:00 I wake up the girls and get them ready. I had to be to work at 8:15 so I ran the girls to school then off to work I went. It was very busy at work and I had one client in particular that made me realize what I am thankful for today. Health. Unlike her and her parents I am so fortunate that I am in good health. And not only myself, but my entire family. I listened to my poor client weep about her issues with her health and how she is no longer able to take care of her elderly and sickly parents. I am so lucky that we do no have to battle everyday sickness. I realized that I take health for granted. I woke up and just be-bopped around not ever thinking once how grateful I am that I hopped out of bed feeling great. As did my children. I thank the Lord for giving me the health and strength that I need to take care of myself and my sweet family.

I had the same thing happen to me at work today. Mine was just the opposite though. A sweet little teenager is not doing well at all because of stinking cancer. I feel for her family so much, it's been such a long and horrible time for them. We do feel thankful for our well being all the time, but these stories put it in perspective how fast things can change and we need to be extra thankful and live life to the fullest. Oh, so sad my prayers go out to them all. We are truly blessed.
I agree, you don't raelize sometimes what you have until it is gone. Being healthy is one of the greatest things in life.
