Grateful for Health

I've had a few significant bouts of illnesses that landed me in a hospital. Other than that, I believe I've been pretty healthy over the years. So much so that it is perhaps something that is more or less taken for granted, or at the very least commonized until there are bouts of illnesses to deal with.

While I do take my health for granted sometimes, the value of good health is not lost on me. My Father had a terrible stroke that kept him down for years and I know how much he'd have traded everything just to be normal again. What we call normal sometimes is the greatest desire of some people who are not as lucky to be in that position.

The key of course is to have a heightened sense of appreciation for it, and maximize what is given. I believe gifts aren't simply meant to be dumped by the corner but rather should be acknowledged and maximised to the full. Good health of course is perhaps the greatest gift never mentioned, and from it comes the opportunities that life has to offer.
