Hot and Cold

As I constantly battle between hot and cold I can't help but be humbled. Coats, sweaters, jackets, air conditioning, heaters, fans, and the need for these show how fragile the human form really is. A few degrees can mean the difference between life or death, losing limbs, our bodies shutting down, dehydration, or disintegration. Yet there is a place in our universe where we can survive and thrive. There are so many miracles from children being born, to new technologies being discovered, and our bodies healing themselves. We live around countless miracles, most cannot be explained, but they still make up this life. It's crazy to think that with the ingestion of one wrong thing our bodies could stop their necessary functions for life. Falling the wrong way can be the difference between a life threatening wound or a bruise. I'm not trying to sound dismal, it's actually the opposite. It humbles me to think that with so many dangers at every corner I am still here. I am alive to see another day and I'm am healthy, mobile, able to communicate, and able to do whatever it is that I decide. It's an amazing gift. Every day I am overwhelmed that I can spend hopefully one more day on this earth and experience all the pure, raw feelings that we as humans get to experience, even pain is special, although when we experience it we are not the begging for more pain but it shows that we can still feel, and how amazing the lack of it is. We are so blessed, that I cannot find a way to emphasize to the depths of it's truth. I am still here! I may be wearing a sweater because chances are I'm cold, but I'm so glad that I am alive.. and for my sweater!
