I’m Not Sick

That should be all the encouragement you need. On some days, it’s also all you’ll get—but ask any sick person, and they’ll tell you it’s still plenty.

Right now, I might be on the verge of getting sick, but so far, I’m just exhausted from dealing with a million problems. That, too, is a privilege, as my friend Sean just reminded me. One of his readers suffered a stroke. They wrote to him: “A healthy person has 1000 problems. A sick person has only one.”

May healthy days always be the norm for you—but may you also never forget that each one is a gift.
