Most days you might hear me complaining about the various parts of my body that cause me pain. The unfortunate truth is that I do experience body pain in one way or another most days. This week it has been a horrible migraine-quality headache. For 6 days there was a headache bad enough to affect my concentration, mood, and studying… and then today I woke up and it was gone. Thankfully.
Despite the various types of pain I experience, I am grateful that I hav a very healthy and well functioning body. I’m not exactly sure why I experience so much pain, but I figure it’s mostly from stress, my fairly physical job, and the bad posture I almost always have while performing surgery (or these days, studying).
Today, with my headache gone and a bit of studying done, I decided to enjoy the beautiful sunshine on a walk with my family. Because I am well, healthy, strong, and fit, I am able to participate in such simple pleasures as walking around the neighbourhood with my family. The boys practiced for their fun run coming up in a few weeks by running around the lake while my husband and I pushed a sleeping little girl in the stroller. It was beautiful.
Everything about this moment was beautiful, right down to the Canada geese standing on the melting ice atop the melting lake.
that all sounds so amazing! I am so glad you got to enjoy that! Time with family is the bomb!

Yes! It certainly is – especially at a time in my life where time is at a premium and I am constantly putting my family on the back burner for studying. But soon enough that will be over!
