The Importance of Good Health

The Importance of Good Health

Two days ago I had (I think it’s fair to say), one of the worst days of my life.

The day started out by getting pulled over and ticketed for the first time in my life. I’ve been driving since I was 15 and a half and have never once been pulled over. I was pulled over on my way back from physical therapy where I was treating for injuries sustained from being hit by a drunk driver last year. Oh the irony. (Note to self: a California roll does not count when encountering a stop sign.)

The day progressed and I started to feel a stabbing pain in my lower right abdomen. The pain worsened and I ended up spending the entire night in the emergency room with needles poked in me, and tubes sticking out of me. I’ll spare you the gory details, but suffice it to say – good times were had by all.

Several hundred dollars and a bruised body and ego later I’m counting my lucky stars that I’m going to be OK. Good health can never be underestimated. Every day we spend on earth is a blessing. I’m not a religious person in any classical sense, but I know when to thank the universe, and now is the time. Good times, bad times, it’s all part of it, and every second I have, I am thankful for.

Here’s to good health.
