Healthy and Hale


I'm healthy again!
I thought I'd be worshiping the ground I walk on
and worshiping walking itself for that matter.

Worshiping the comfortable skin I'm in;
it's even the correct temperature!
Worshiping breathing,
and eating,
talking.

Here I am, so soon,
taking health for granted.
Being so sick was horrendous.
Being well on a dull day is boring.

Now it is time (2 well days) to praise health!
Get on the appreciation wagon.
Get off the whining wagon.

God help me.
Really,
I'm praying for an attitude of gratitude.
A skill I've seemed to have forgotten.

Thank you, thank you for health.
I'll say it over and over.
Even when I don't particularly care.
Even when things are just regular.

Please, God,
don't let me forget,
but rather help me remember to be grateful.
