108 Days of Gratitude – Day 13

It may sound like a reach to say I'm grateful to be able to walk. But I have had one friend and three acquaintances lose that ability. All of them spent the rest of their lives in wheelchairs. I've lost track of one of them, but the others all died young.

You've probably seen me post here from time to time that I would like to disassociate my consciousness from my body and just float free like a cloud. I'm kind of a sedentary egghead anyway, so I would get along without a physical form better than some people.

But every time I wrote that, I was aware that if I didn't want my physical body, there were a few people I knew who would have been glad to have it.
