Captured Feelings
A grateful heart heals faster
The things we take for granted
I feel like writing tonight.
A feeling I haven’t had in weeks. Other feelings have been at centre stage these weeks. Mostly the feelings of pain and exhaustion. When you have those, everything else takes a back seat.
Makes me think of how privileged I have been before to have other kinds of feelings and to worry way too much about them.
We take so many things for granted in this life, but the number one must be our health.
There are millions of things our body does for us that we are blessed with every day. And when we lose even one of them, the world feels like it is ending.
How ungrateful I have been for my body. And how ungrateful I still am. It has been sending me some signals that I need to take better care of him, but for the most part it’s working like the God-given miracle that it is.
And what am I doing? Complaining about those few signals. Forgetting again about everything else that is doing for me every millisecond.
It’s astonishing how effortlessly we overlook the intricate mechanisms of our bodies.
