Gratitude Day 17

I arrived in Melbourne, from Chengdu, China, on Sept. 23, 2019.  With all the talk of coronavirus and masks, pneumonia and respiratory illness, it occurred to me that I have not been sick since I left China!  During my 18 months of living in China, I was nearly constantly sick due to air pollution (and stress)...I had continuous cycles of bronchitis, colds, and flu... escalating at one point to near hospitalization.  Now, I am free from illness, relishing the clean air/food/water of Australia.  I have been free of illness for over 4 months!  Wow!  Never thought I'd be grateful for NOT being constantly sick.  But there it is!  On the road to health again!  I am grateful! I am grateful for my health!  I am grateful to breath clean air, drink uncontaminated water, and eat unpoisoned/uncontaminated food! Yay!
