Appreciation

As I was sitting around the house this week suffering with a stomach virus, it became obvious that I don't always appreciate being healthy. It's easy to remember to appreciate good health when we are suffering, and also when we are recovering (how sad for people who cannot recover). The question is -- after we are well and feeling better, do we wake up and appreciate how good we feel? Do we appreciate waking up? Do we appreciate what we have, during a time of loss? Do we appreciate our family and friends? Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life -- start appreciating more and more, and see how that helps your happiness.

Tai chi thought of the week:
Freedom from always wanting an answer will help us deal with our problems...


Stay centered, enjoy the day, and be careful out there.
Sifu Mike
