I spent the night last night in the guest bed. My hip was hurting terribly, and it's currently the mattress I like the most. Started ticking off all the lousy health genes my parents passed on to me as I was trying to wake up: bad back (which ties into the hip issue), worse knees, asthma, tooth issues, sensitive tummy, chronic depression.
All of a sudden it hit me. Quit being a wuss! None of those things are life threatening or even all that life altering. So I have to bike or swim rather than run. So I do none of those things very fast. So I'm the proud owner of six crowns. I'm not dying and treatment has not left me destitute.
And look at all the other wonderful things in my life. My family and friends, a job I love.
So my prayer this morning is this. Lord, attitude adjustment accomplished. Now please take away the hip pain so I can sleep.
Amen.
