Gratitude

With one family member undergoing cancer treatment, I am certainly jolted with a bolt of reality. Cancer is real and there is a possibility that one day my body cells may decide to hit the mutation dance floor and get crazy.

Everything I put into my body matters. My lifestyle matters. Maybe my DNA would be my downfall, but well, the least I could do is not to let everything go free-falling down the cancer rabbit hole. 

Time to think about my way-of-life and remember that I alone, is responsible for my own well-being.

I am thankful that right now I'm still able and about, in good shape to go for running sessions, having a normal body that allows me to read and write this blog. I am thankful for all the people in my life for hanging around, providing me with a comfortable working and living environment, a roof over my head. I am glad I can go to work and earn my keep, having sufficient ability to dress and eat well. I am really content with my place, really appreciative of all this.

No doubt with passing of time, signs of aging will begin to show up all over my healthy body and I will become frail and weak, but I will always be grateful that I am able to live comfortably and loved by so many right now.

Thanks, yah!
Lisa, hang in there because you have much to live for and celebrate!
