Be Thankful For Good Health

Sometimes we have to reminded not to take our health for granted.

During the last three weeks I've been reminded of that, and the nudge continues to linger on.

When Charlie came home for a surprise visit for Mother's Day I was already beginning to feel lousy. Sore Throat; trouble swallowing, loss of energy. By Sunday night I had a 101 fever so on Monday I went to a walk in clinic to get an antibiotic.

I hardly ever miss full days of work because I'm sick. Usually I'll go in even if I feel horrible, at least for a little while. I missed not only Monday, but the whole rest of the week except for two hours on Friday. Even into the next week I only worked partial days because my energy was so low.

Still not quite up to normal, at least now I can look back and appreciate good health, which most of us take too much for granted.

We need to take care of ourselves: eat right, exercise, and drink in moderation! As my Irish grandmother used to tell my dad, "Nothing too much!"

Drink plenty of water and get a good night's sleep. Getting on a regular sleep pattern can help prevent illness.
