50/100 WORDS

Healthy, Wealthy And Wise

Thrifty Words 50 #32 / 100 #11: Health is Wealth

As the old adage goes, you never know what you’ve got till it’s gone. No truer words for me this last month, when for the first time in my life, I have had to face some serious health problems. Suddenly, I can’t see properly and have to take daily medication.

Never one to let changes get me down, I’m doing all that I can to continue to live fully and happily despite my challenges. I trust the process of life. I know that all is well and I will be ok. I choose to affirm that all happens for my highest good, and I remain grateful for every single blessing.

How do you feel about your health? Do you have a particular regime for looking after yourself? Share your ideas, insights and stories with us.
