A Golden Opportunity

There is a nasty stomach/intestinal flu bug going around and lucky me I caught it this week. It’s just my turn.

I haven’t been this kind of sick since I was a kid with stuff coming out both ends. The only savings grace is that I’ve lost a few pounds! I have to find the silver lining in all this.

With plenty of down time the last few days I’ve been reflecting on just how fragile life really is.

I take so much for granted every day.

It isn’t until things like this happen that I pause and reflect on just how fortunate I am to have really good health. Many people don’t have the ability to leave their homes and go to work every day like I do. Many people live in isolation and have no solid support system surrounding them like I do.

I am blessed. I am grateful.

Once again it is good that life presents these golden opportunities to remind me of how precious life really is and just how much I really have to be so very grateful for.

What are you taking for granted today?
