So how are you feeling today?
Just "OK"?
Just "Fine"?
Only "Not bad"?
That's FANTASTIC! Let me explain.
Last month, I went to see an awe-inspiring
exhibit called "Body Worlds", which was at the
Ontario Science Center.
It is described as "The Anatomical Exhibition of
Real Human Bodies" and was easily the most
though-provoking thing I've seen in years. The
exhibit consisted of a large number of real human
bodies that have been carefully preserved using a
unique process. But unlike a typical anatomy
exhibit - these bodies are not simply lying around.
They are striking full action poses like kicking a
soccer ball, doing yoga, riding horseback and even
ski jumping. (You can visit their site here.)
For me, this exhibit highlighted the incredible
design of the human body and the delicate and
fragile balance between all of our systems. When
you have an opportunity to look at the bones,
muscles, tendons, connective tissues, organs, blood
vessels, brain, spinal chord and nerves - it is
absolutely mind-boggling. The fantastic amount of
coordination that goes into something as simple as
drinking a cup of coffee is nothing short of
staggering.
So if you are feeling "OK", "Fine" or "Not bad" -
that's FANTASTIC! Take a moment and give thanks that
everything is working so well!
If you have some aches or pains - take a moment
and give thanks that they are only aches and pains.
And finally, if you are coping with a condition
or disease - take a moment and give thanks that you
are still here!
Most importantly...
ENJOY NOW!
