Thankful Thursday

I'm thankful for my health. I have my health when so many don't.

I have been complaining a little about not being able to do the things I have been used to doing. For the most part, it's normal everyday things, like dishes and laundry. It's hard. I'm behind and I want to just go gungho and catch up but if I do that I won't get better as quickly. I know I'm just recovering from having a baby and that my body was meant to have babies but it is still recovering from some major changes in a relatively short time frame. I need the six weeks they suggest to get better. And after six babies I am just getting that. And so as hard as it is, I am taking the six weeks. Only 2 left now. I can't believe my baby is almost a month old already.

Because of the health I have been blessed with, I can continue to bear the children God gives us. And we love children. I can't wait to be pregnant again! LOL. I mean, yeah, give me time to get back to a good place again, but despite all my complaints when pregnant and this time afterward, I wouldn't change anything. I want to bless this world with good citizens trained in the ways of God.

I have good health; I want to keep it that way. It seems like a vicious circle. If you don't keep up your health, you don't want to really either. But the opposite is also true. I can't wait to start walking again. My children and I walk everywhere and we haven't been able to in the last couple of months. I want to walk to get the mail and go to the library and grab the odd grocery item we need. I want to exercise and do my belly dancing video!


With my good health I can care for my family. I can educate them and train them. I can tackle the finances and sort the mail. I can do the laundry and wash the dishes. So many things I have taken for granted that now, I want to do so badly, at the same level I was doing them before. To those who persevere through constant illness and disease, to do the things we take for granted, I commend you! You are an inspiration. Thank you.
