Feeling…

Thankful.

Because I was diagnosed with gastroenteritis yesterday, but haven’t been vomiting or having diarrhoea today. In other words, I’m probably 90% recovered! :) And that… is a miracle.

I was also thinking about my parents. I know this is weird but I sometimes imagine what would happen if people I love died. So I was thinking about how I’d feel if I suddenly found out that something happened to the both of them. I think I’d be okay, knowing that they’re in Heaven and dancing with Jesus. And I guess I wouldn’t miss their physical presence that much, since Justin and I have survived almost a year without them being at home. I guess what I’d really miss would be their speaking into my life, and me being able to share my life with them.

After almost 21 years of walking this earth, I’ve come to realise how they’re filled with wisdom and experience, and along the way, learnt to trust them with my joys, struggles, shame, uncertainty, future… And I’m thankful that I have them to trust and walk with. :)

And I know it’s also rather strange to be thankful that I was/am sick, but I feel so rested now, having slept for hours and hours. I’m particularly thankful to God that my eyes are okay, considering that I’d worn my contacts from 5am yesterday till 3am today, about 12 hours of which involved me sleeping with them on :|

Okay and I’m also thankful for God’s grace to me in terms of my grades for this semester. I’m genuinely contented and thankful for how I’ve done :) So now, on to the article my lecturer’s asked me to publish for the Singapore Nursing Journal! Let’s do this! :D
