I’m even surprised I’m able to type right now because a few hours ago, I couldn’t even hold anything.
I woke up very well, and I even did everything I had to do early just because it’s Friday, and you know how Friday goes. I don’t know about you, but after 4pm, I’m unable to do anything productive on Fridays. My brain automatically just thinks of resting.
After doing all that I had to do, it was about exactly 4pm, and from nowhere my stomach started hurting. Okay, I won’t exactly say from nowhere because I’ve been eating one particular fruit for the past few days, and anytime I ate that fruit as a child, I fell sick. But I thought it was all in my head.
So I decided to just try it now that I’m older, and nothing happened the first day. I was very excited, so I just went full commando on it and ate it for about four days straight. And then my body just said, enough is enough. I’ve gone through pains and have been able to tolerate them, but this? Not at all.
I quickly called my mom and asked her what to do because I had forgotten how I used to deal with this issue as a kid. She told me what to do, and immediately after doing it, the pain came down. Within that small time that I started feeling better, I couldn’t stop thanking God. I was just so excited because it’s been so long since I went through such a health crisis. A painful one like this.
It just made me realize how we take good health for granted. Some of us are always complaining about not having money, not achieving our goals, and a whole lot of other things. But we forget that the real wealth is health. Imagine what I could have done with money in that moment I was going through pain. Imagine what a mansion in Beverly Hills could have done for me. Absolutely nothing.
As I said, I’m even surprised I’m able to hold my phone and type this because in the last few hours, I went through some serious health turbulence. I didn’t want to share this to make anyone worried, but I also thought, and just decided, that this is a message to most of us who are busy complaining each and every day, forgetting having good health is a blessing.
Anyway, I’m a little okay, and I think I need to rest for a bit.
