Thank you to Rebecca Hughes for nominating me to participate in this Facebook activity. Time to kick off the 5 days of thanks. Day 1: I am thankful for: 1. Being alive. Simple. If Im breathing and my heart is beating, the rest of what life throws at me is manageable. :) 2. My physical health. I am so thankful for my healthy body and I do not take it for granted. A healthy body outlives many of lifes transient offerings, so investing in your health and body is a no brainer. Some people are not as fortunate and battle illness and disease on a daily basis, this is tragic and unfair. I am truly thankful for my health and I hope I can continue to be healthy. 3. My mental health. I am so thankful for the positive outlook, learning experiences and tools I have amassed in my 31 years. This attitude helps me to identify opportunities and transform obstacles into opportunities. I do not take my mental health for granted because Ive seen the impact it can have on those who are not as lucky as me. I yearn for a society that doesnt judge people with anxiety, depression and other mental illnesses. The stigma associated to mental illness should be quashed. I am thankful I have always been able push on, and where I can, I do my best to empower those who feel lost. There is ALWAYS light at the end of the tunnel. If youre in a tunnel and cannot find where the light is coming from, I urge you to speak out. Even something as simple as calling LifeLine on 13 11 14 can restore the balance you seek.
