Today I’m thankful for having parasites (it turns out I have two different parasites going on inside of me, a pair of parasites).  I don’t like the parasites, but its caused me to do some life evaluation.  Firstly its caused me to spend more time thinking about things above & my relationship with Christ.  Secondly its caused me to spend more time with my family.  Thirdly its caused me to start exercising and working out.  I have lost, as of this morning, 8 pounds in the last month.  Some people lose weight from parasites, I’m losing it from being healthier in my diet, healthier by exercising, and healthier by having self-control.

I know its weird to be thankful for a parasite problem, but I guess I’m used to being weird.
