So…
I’ve been sick–the sickest I’ve been in a long time. The flu is no fun and I’m glad it’s over. One thing having the flu reminded me is how I take my “normal” everyday life for granted. The ability to function, get out of bed, chart a course for the day and do it, is a gift. No doubt. When we lose sight of our days as gifts, we take those days and the people around us for granted. Take some time today to be grateful for what you have and the energy you posses to make your way in the world. Appreciating it, and the moments you’ve been given will make them more productive and, more importantly, richer.
