I worry a lot. I think we all worry a lot. But in truth the things we worry about are often silly... even when they seem big. The simple fact of the matter is I am healthy. That is something not everyone can say. I may be having a bad day, a day full of hormones and mood swings, but when asked "Can you teach in the hot yoga room tonight?" I can say "Sure, no problem." This is a job where I have the privilege of using my body in a strong and healthy way for over an hour in a room that is over 100 degrees... and the only thing I need to worry about is drinking enough water. I am so very fortunate.
A friend of mine passed away today. She was a good soul, and she will be missed. She was sick for a long time. She physically was unable to do the things I take for granted. I'm not saying I don't have some things in life that deserve my attention, concern, and even worry. But at least I'm physically able to handle it. And I need to keep these things in perspective.
So tonight I will go to sleep and appreciate my health. I hope I can hold onto it for a while. I know I need to give it more attention. I'm worth it.
