        Dear Friends  ~  When we are unwell, in pain or just not feeling well within, are usually the times when we take notice of our bodies.   When you think about it, why don't we take the time each day to quietly celebrate that we have good health, our organs work as they should, we can see things well to do our daily activities, and we have no pain?    I call that "recognizing well-being and giving thanks."    I know that people with disabilities are happy when they can perform tasks that we all take for granted, just everyday things.   And looking at their faces, I know they are quietly celebrating their achievements, within.  

        I think we should start an appreciation day for all of the things that we can do without any huge effort on our part, unlike others in our community who call doing the simplest of duties "little achievements."   I learnt that myself when I suffered a disability through unexpected illness, and life slowed down to a crawl!  and so did I !

What a learning curve that was!    At the time we may not realize it is a blessing in disguise that our lives have been halted by a debilitating illness, but at the time I looked for the lessons in it, and worked my way through.

        So, I think that recognizing good health or being able to accomplish whatever we need to, is worth celebrating.  Recognizing our well-being stops us from taking life for granted and makes us more aware how fragile life can be when we look around at the people in our community who may have to put a lot more effort into doing the things we don't think twice about!    Living in awareness of our Blessings makes our life richer.

Namaste  ~  Love
