Today is a day that I celebrate the blessing of marrying a good man nineteen years ago. Right now he is taking his nightly nap while holding the remote control and "watching" TV with his eyes shut. Yes he is older now & should be allowed these privileges, however, he's been doing this for 19 years! :) I just have to smile and be thankful he's home with me and not out and about. Yes, thankfulness can lift a person's spirits.
Too often we forget all the things we have to be thankful for. Just today, I was talking with a co-worker about walking in the morning. She has little energy at the end of the day to walk as we keep her a very busy woman at work as our department receptionist and go-for person. I mentioned walking in the morning, but she has a four year old to get up and get ready for school. I know she is thankful for that little guy and truthfully, I'm thankful that I don't have a four year old to take care of and that I am free to walk in the morning. I am also thankful for mild weather year-round to walk in and a safe, gated community to walk around.
I am thankful that both my parents are still alive and doing well. I am thankful that my siblings are all still alive and that I have lost very few precious people in my life. Disease and illness can attack a body so quickly, that every day of health is a precious blessing. Today, hubby got the news that his recent stress test shows all is well, yet the evidence of a previous heart attack is there. A heart attack that awakens a person's perspective on life. I don't want a heart attack to happen to me and that is one of the reasons I am embarking on this life style change, to hopefully prevent heart disease and maybe other diseases as well. I am thankful for the health I have and will continue to improve.
Give thanks with a grateful heart! It will lift your spirits! Peace.
