Grateful for Good Health

I am grateful to be in good health. I am grateful to wake up in the morning and go about my day without pain. I need not worry about the functioning of my body today. I need not be petrified by my impending mortality. I am free, liberated to focus more on what lies outside of me than to worry about what lies within. I am thankful to live a high quality of life, to be fully alive and beautifully human. I can breathe easily, see clearly, walk confidently, and think peacefully. I may never have such a perfect day again, in such splendid fitness. And yet, I have it today and appreciate it I must. In many ways, is health any different than freedom? In good health, I can move, choose, and be.

I am grateful to be in good health.
