Today I'm thankful for:
May seem strange but I'm around a lot of really sick people that make it easy to remind myself to be grateful for things like the use of my legs, my mind, etc...
I've had the opportunity though to be reminded of my health outside of work lately. My roommate is friends with a girl who lives beneath us and the other day she(Sharon) asked if I'd be able to help her out. Turns out she needed her blood pressure checked a few times a week and to save her having to go to a free clinic down in Provo she called sharon and asked if I'd be willing to do help her out. No problemo!!
Well let's just say this girl is amazing, she has Lupus, and has other health issues such as a previous stroke before, hence the latest concern of her blood pressures starting to rise . This girl is under the age of 30. Well she's not letting her disease win and is the head of a department at BYU, is still going to school to get her masters, etc... But her days are not without difficulty and there are some days her disease wins.
Let's just say she not only made me feel grateful for my health but also made me feel extremely whiny, useless, lazy, and ungrateful. She's inspired me this past week to say the least.
What are you thankful for today??
