Some days I’m not so sure whether growing older means acquiring more wisdom or a more sustained ability to cope with pain. It’s hard to find gratitude in the things we take for granted like good health because like everything else we don’t truly appreciate it until it’s no longer there.
If nothing else, as far as I’m concerned, I’ll endeavour to remain as healthy for as long as possible for the sole purpose of avoiding becoming dependant to various drugs that act as nothing more than plasters for the inside. There are better ways to find balance between body and mind than relying on little pills with too many X’s and Y’s in their name…
