There is a condition that afflicts millions, and most who have it dont even know it. In fact most who have it are in good health, some even excellent health. It can be passed on to others and if left unchecked, it can lead to hardening of the heart, and attitudes that can be harmful to others. I call it Ingrate Divitiae, which is Latin for unappreciated riches. The riches?, why, good health, of course. Perhaps its human nature, many people dont realize just how well or blessed we are till our fortunes change. Ironically, this is seldom the case with people who have impaired health or pain, or physical problems. I once was told by someone with a debilitating chronic condition that it was the best thing that had ever happened to her. It took me a while to get my head around that. We are all given this life, this spark and a number of days. Some are fun and good and exciting, and some totally suck. It is counter-intuitive to embrace them all, but not without merit. It is also ok, and beneficial to be fed up when a string of bad days come along. One can seize victory even if it only means being able to say I made it through today. That can be a major accomplishment, and if youre having a day when it is, it is worth embracing. You did it! Most of lifes great achievements are a cumulation of small, often insignificant-seeming little ones. Never underestimate the value of a hug, smile or kind thought, or getting out of bed to face the day, or laying down to rest. Life isnt fair, its risky. Its worth remembering when youre having a bad day that theres a risk tomorrow will be better. As a wise person once told me sometimes you win. Its true.
