Gratitude Day 24: What are three things I’m grateful for about my physical health?
Arthritis in my hands, knees, and now my shoulder.
A bit too much flesh on my bones.
Gray hair.
Developing cataracts.
I could lament on all the ways this body is falling apart, or I could be grateful for the things that still work.
Such as being able to type even with arthritis. How I can still walk and climb stairs (albeit a bit slower) with arthritic knees. Even though I may wince when I move my shoulder, I can still carry things and open stubborn jars.
I can still see. I can still hear. I don’t get sick very often.
God willing this body still has a few more quality years left on it. Especially since the warranty ran out decades ago.
I share the gradual decay but challenge myself to mount the stairs and reach the top shelf. Let’s keep the parts working.

Indeed! Gotta keep those joints greased and the muscles trim!
