I seldom get sick but the last few days…yuk. This morning I woke up and no nausea, no pain and wow, I think I am well.

You know the saying, “you don’t know what you have till you lose it.” That is appropriate for good health, too.

I would consider myself very healthy…for my age. The only medication I take is a prevacid and I don’t really take that unless I end up snacking before bedtime. So, it is easy to just take it for granted that I can get up and work all day. I expect my body to allow me to do all the things I plan to do for the day. Whether it is mowing the lawn, weedeating and pulling weeds from my flowerbeds, painting the outside of a house, putting up fence with my husband, or taking a l0 hour trip….I expect to do it and not have any pain afterwards. Well, I do occasionally have a few aches and pains which reminds me that I am not 20 anymore. But, I am a strong person so I keep going.

The last couple days, I stayed inside my home and it drove me crazy. I wanted to get outside and work. This morning, I woke up realizing that I am back to normal and thankful for my good health. If I hadn’t gotten sick, I wouldn’t realize how great it is to feel “normal”.
