Walking Realization

[shanmonster]

Today I walked home from running some errands, carrying three heavy bags and it suddenly struck me to rejoice in that moment--for I was carrying the bags with ease, walking unstooped and without pain, with long strides on a winter day. Such a simple thing can so easily be taken for granted. And so I smiled as I finished my walk home, feeling hale and strong.

My rather crappy health of late leads me to strongly agree with you.

I hope you're feeling much better really soon.
