Remembering with gratitude

Habits of a lifetime are hard to change. I've taken health mostly for granted. As with us all, I've had some bad episodes over the years, including a few that might have turned lethal. But if I wake up and nothing hurts, I tend to forget. Even touching numb areas, or realizing that something doesn't taste right, tends to be filed automatically under "It is what it is," and without taking time to remember what might have been.

And sometimes, with so many resources, one takes time for granted too -- surely there'll be time to add this to the pile of things to read or do. After all, the resources are there. But the clock...

Count your blessings. It'll keep me busy for a while.
