This is the time of year when reflecting on what one is thankful for is common practice. Most people give the same old unoriginal, cliché answers each year. “I am thankful for my spouse, my children, my family, and my friends. I am thankful I have the means to keep a roof over my head, food on the table and for my health”.
Before you start making assumptions regarding my priorities, I would just like to say that I do agree with those answers. In fact, I would typically answer exactly the same. But when thinking about my list this year, I wanted to take a look at the non-traditional things I am thankful for. At first, my goal was to be funny, yet honest, and hopefully give people a laugh. I had no idea that one little word in the “same old unoriginal” list would strike such a chord with me as I was typing. That word is HEALTH.
