Day 8

Today I am thankful for a healthy family. As the cold and flu season approaches and everyone seems to be fighting the flu, pink eye, strep, tonsilitis, etc., I am thankful that my children (knock on wood) are seldom sick. I am thankful that they like fruits and veggies, eat regular meals, and were blessed with incredible immune systems. I am thankful that they were born with bodies that can run, jump and explore...eyes that can see the beauty around them...and ears that they can choose to make work. I am thankful I don't have to worry about cuts, scrapes and bruises as they were blessed with bodies that can heal themselves. I am thankful for modern medicine that offers healing when their bodies cannot and I am thankful for access to good doctors and nurses who work tirelessly to ensure that any time of any day we can have peace of mind knowing that even a 1AM emergency appendectomy will come out just fine. Prayers for my dad today as he recovers and thankfulness for my happy, healthy family.
