Just taking a few moments out of my day, thinking of how grateful I am to have my health. To me, having health is the ultimate gift, no money or material items can replace your health. Health is priceless, as it does not come with a price tag and sometimes you do not value health until you no longer have it.
As I visit my ailing mother-in-law in a nursing home, I walk down the long depressing hallway that leads to her room. I am so aware of the gift of wellness, as there are so many reminders around as to what can happen when your health fails you.
As we speak, my bother-in-law, a nurse, whom I used to enjoy 30-40 mile bike rides with is going through a target therapy clinical trial at Dana Farber. Again, I am so mindful of how precious life is and having the gift of health. I can only hope that my bother-in-law’s previous healthy body will get him through and back on the road of well being (for selfish reasons too, as I miss our long challenging bike rides).
As I made my way through the American Lung Association 686 stair climb on Saturday, I felt so privileged and grateful to be able to participate and actually complete the climb. My heart was pumping; my muscles were working, mind set on mediation mode as I briskly make my way to the top. The best present you can give yourself is having a strong body to support any type of fitness goals or daily activity by living a healthy lifestyle!
How much do you value your health? What do you do to maintain a healthy lifestyle?
