Thank God

You know - being healthy is taken for granted a lot.

I accompanied my hubby to Putrajaya Hospital for a regular eye check-up and there were throngs of ppl - all ages, sizes and colour.

If you have never seen living proof of 1Malaysia - this is the place to be.

And it is sad that ppl don't look after their health better. By this, I mean like broken arms and legs, infected eyes and such. Of course, serious cases like cancer and other debilitating diseases aren't self-inflicted.

Then, there are those silent killers which no one sees but occasionally hear about when a loved one suddenly succumbs, for example, a stroke or a heart attack.

But from my observation, there are many out there who can't seem to walk properly, be it from weak legs or overweight, who need a wheelchair for a myriad of reasons, who are in one cast or rather, and those on crutches make up a few handfuls too.

We take for granted our limbs, our senses and until we have an injured little finger, or pinky, we fail to realise the importance of this little finger - even when doing up a button.

So let us take time, to look after ourselves better, to appreciate good health and be grateful for all that we have - if not for our own sake, then for the sakes of our loved ones, those near and dear to our hearts. For they are the ones who suffer when we are ill.
