There is very little that happens to us in this life that is in itself good or bad. It just is.
I have come to realize this over the past six years, when, after a life of general wellness, I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. In its own weird way, it has been a blessing, by causing me to focus on what I eat, how I exercise, and stress and lifestyle management. Yes, there are bad days, but I choose to focus on the good.
Excellent thoughts!
