Unless you really try, you rarely notice how good you’ve got it until something comes along to make things worse.

I’m thinking, at the moment (because I’m really trying) of how wonderful it is to have the use of both of my arms.

A few years back, I had a frozen shoulder. My right arm was essentially useless, because every time I moved it, it hurt like the dickens. Then it got better and my other shoulder went. I never really regained the full use of my left shoulder joint, but I’m grateful for what I have.

So this is just a reminder … to remember. Remember the last time something hurt (something that got better, that is) or even the last time your nose was stuffed up, and take a moment to move and to breathe.

And enjoy doing it.
