Check-in

Late last week, I had the opportunity to hear first-hand stories from people who have experienced quite a few health difficulties. It was one of those things where I mentally added another thing to be "glad" about -- I can see, I can hear, I can walk, I can enjoy and digest food, I can breathe, and I can think. In that respect, I have been outrageously fortunate. I walked around for several days literally thanking the Universe for every step I took -- and then I came down with a miserable cold. Life is funny like that, isn't it? So now I am glad for the space and time to stay still, to drink a lot of tea and soup, and for lots of tissues. I'll check in again in a few days.
