Since I've been working the past year and a half as a nurse I can't help but think almost everyday how lucky I am for good health. In my 24 years of life I've only experienced one hospital visit after a car accident and everything ended up being okay.
Today we did surgery on a 44 year old who was morbidly obese with uncontrolled diabetes, uncontrolled hypertension, sleep apnea, about 15 allergies, living on 3 liters of oxygen every minute of the day. She was a recovery nurses worst nightmare. After work I couldn't help thinking about how thankful I am for my good health that I so often take for granted.
What a blessing it is to be able to get up everyday without worrying about taking medications or checking my blood sugar. I feel so lucky to be able to get up at walk around my house without getting so tired that I have to consistently stop to catch my breathe.
This is just something that I have been comptemplating lately and I thought I should express how greatful I am. There are so many blessings that we take for granted and I definately think that this is one of them.

“Believe in Jesus Christ, our Savior and our Redeemer, the Son of God, who came to earth and walked the dusty roads of Palestine-the Son of God-to teach us the way of truth and light and salvation, and who, in one great and glorious act offered an atonement for each of us. He opened the way of salvation and exaltation for each of us, under which we may go forward in the Church and kingdom of God. Be not faithless, but believe in the great and wonderful and marvelous blessings of the Atonement.” -President Gordon B. Hinckley
