Tonight when I was saying goodnight to my 12 year old son, and we had our little goodnight chat, we came across a topic that made him spontaneously exclaim; "we all have to remember to appreciate our health every single day, and also that we can walk, and run, and see, and hear...." and then he joked; "...and well maybe the appreciation does not include the ability to smell, when you're in my room at least" ;-)
Sometimes I honestly think that he is the one teaching me, not the other way around. And at least today he got my focus on the gratitude of health. I also realized that this Winter I actually haven't brought home a flu or a cold. Or more accurate; I did actually have a sore throat once, which earlier years would have lasted for one maybe two days followed by a cold. This year that sore throat lasted less than one hour.
I have no idea if these small pills in the picture; the magic D-vitamins, actually have made all the difference, and I don't know if they'll take me through the entire Winter.
But isn't that the same with our good health in general. None of us know for how long it will remain. But while we are at good health we might as well be grateful, and appreciate every single day where we can get out of bed with no major health problem - and free of the flu and the Winter cold.
Thanx son. I love you BIG!!!
