I have so much to be thankful for. So much.
At a potluck for family-less Americans last night we shared what we were thankful for and a common theme ensued (and not in this order, Mom):
1.) Skype
2.) air-conditioning
3.) our jobs
4.) family
5.) friends
6.) close proximity to Bali
7.) deet
To this list I would add my health. Our bodies are tested so regularly with the environments in which we live, the food we eat, the things we drink and how we use it. After all, if we wear out our bodies where are we going to live?
I am also thankful for my chiropractor. I enjoyed another visit from my friend Dr. Dobson this week and he gave me one of the best- if not the best- adjustments I have ever had in my life. He worked on me for almost 45 minutes and really took a lot of time to explain the how and why of each pain or soreness I had. I have to do a much better job of stretching. The running I have been doing has been taking a toll on my body and I need to be careful so that as I up my mileage I do not injure myself. The half marathon I'm training for in the spring is fast approaching but I will be ready.
I digress.
In all sincerity, I am thankful to be alive and to live a life where I have freedom of choice. A loving family. Wonderful friends. Passion for life.
That is all you really need, no?
