There is nothing like sitting at a hospital reception to resolve your first-world-problem-type complaints. I was sitting in one this morning. I felt so humble and grateful for all that I do have despite sometimes feeling like I need ‘more’. There were a lot of people there, most of them middle age plus or elderly. I thought that they must have gone through quite a trouble to be there like I did – parking was a struggle, the whole place is so big with so many buildings which made it difficult to find the right place etc. I guess they were there to desperately (or sometimes apathetically or reluctantly upon family’s loving pressure) trying to maintain or fix what I take for granted – Health! Normal functioning of the liver, the kidneys, the heart and others. I take for granted I can pee, poo, eat and sleep.
I should enjoy these things while they last. I know they don’t last. That’s for sure. It’s been like that for every single person that ever lived. I’m not pessimistic. All I’m saying is, I will make the most out of it, fully enjoy my health and my body and everything else given to me and be thankful to the One who gave it to me freely.
It was Monday morning and since last night, nothing went to my plan, I’m behind schedule and have quite a bit to do. It’s also raining. But you know what? I am not complaining (not today at least). I am gunna enjoy today, enjoy staying home, working away and be glad for all the blessings, the overt and the hidden and thank God for all these things.
