Health and Wellness

Happy Monday!

I was away from this space yesterday as the illness that my darlings struggled through this seasons found its ways to Mama.  I spent most of last night and, still feeling it today, feeling rather awful.  The timing of my sickness coincided with what would be my return to work outside the home following Christmas vacation.  No stress there!

This struggling with feeling not well is a gentle reminder (okay perhaps more than gentle) that health is one of the most important, essential and energizing basics for which to be thankful.  Those of us who have mostly enjoyed good health can sometimes take our wellness and all the ease that comes with it for granted.  I also want to mention, that for me, health takes on a holistic meaning, mental, physical and spiritual health (this is a personal definition to explore).  Just moving through your day and the energy and vibrancy we can share as individuals is a direct result of all of the aspects of our health. 

Despite feeling rather awful, I am comforted by knowing that this will pass and  I will be back to myself again (hopefully later today?).  Today, I am thankful and grateful for my health and the opportunity to pause and think about how I will continue to take care of myself each and everyday.  How are you taking care of yourself today?  Feel free to share...there is now an anonymous option for leaving comments if you so desire.
