Thank you

Its been 2 weeks since I injured my elbow, and it has been really inconvenient now that I have only one hand to do everything. People often say you don't realize how important something is until you lose it. Well, I couldn't agree more. Although this might be temporary, but it has really helped me to appreciate a little bit more on things that I often take for granted.

In the society we live in today, luxury very often gets mistaken as necessity. And when those conveniences get taken away, you can't help but to be a little frustrated. I miss sports, I miss cooking / baking / eating with two hands greedily, I miss driving around, I miss sleeping on my face flat on my bed and I definitely miss taking a proper shower. The list could go on, but then again why should it?

Despite the inconvenience, I find so many things to be thankful for. I use to hurry to get things done without much thought, now I learn to be patient. I use to eat a lot... really a lot, and now I have to eat less (due to lack of exercise). I use to wake up late to do last minute morning prep, now I need to wake up early. Also there are so many people that I can be thankful for. My family who had to put up with my "disability". Brothers and sisters in church who offered their help wherever they can. Especially Pei Yee who is almost like the extra arm to me all this while. From driving me everywhere to getting my right arm cleaned, even to helping me finish this blog design. Thank you all so so much.

I should be in this cast for at least another two more weeks, and I am sure God has a good purpose for it. Has this been a blessing in disguise? No... I think it has been a blessing ever since it happened.
