as i learn more and more about the body and how it functions, i never fail to marvel at how delicately the whole system is constructed. how the effects of everything seem to act through immaculately controlled and painfully planned mechanisms. how the different systems work in perfect harmony for the better good of the greater whole. in healthy people that is.
and as i read up on diabetes mellitus for pbl tomorrow, i find myself whispering thanks over and over again in my heart to the greater being, if he/she exists, for giving me this precious gift that most people do not cherish, until they fall ill, and then banish it to the bottom of their priority list when they get well again. health. what a priceless asset. thanks once again.
