I am thankful

I have so much to be thankful for, but this year I am particularly thankful for health. Tuesday I went to our friend's house who has cancer. She is 26 years old and has been sick and in pain for 7 years. She doesn't have much energy, so we help her around the house with dishes, trash, etc. She told me that she wanted to live, but has made peace with death. Wow...and I was stressed about getting to Target to buy a new shirt to go with a sweater someone gave me. Talk about a dose of much needed perspective.
So today, I am thankful for my friend who lives so gracefully despite sickness. I am thankful for my body. I am thankful for my health. I am thankful I have the energy for small and large tasks. I am thankful for reminders.
