Day 19. 365grateful - health

I came home tonight with a really bad headache verging on a migraine in the front left of my head. I went to bed at 9pm after taking two neurofen, drinking lots of water and using the eyebrights on cotton wool over my eyes (that really works by the way). I guess it's only when you don't feel too well that you appreciate your health. A friend of mine has breast cancer and I saw her on facebook discussing whether she should choose a wig or a scarf and mentioning that her veins ached. So today I am grateful for a headache, even if it is a bad one.

We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures. Thornton Wilder

The 365 Grateful Project
In early 2008, in an effort to fight depression, Hailey Bartholomew started a year long photographic project which involved taking one Polaroid photo a day of something she felt grateful for.
I thought that this was such a fab idea I would do it as well. I have been blipping on and off recently but I lost my enthusiasm for it when I felt that every day was the same, always going to the same place. However, I think that documenting something I am grateful for each day gives it a different slant.
