Illness is a strange gift.

 I guess by reducing the normal scope of daily responsibilities it can feel like a nice break. Healing is its own responsibility, after all, and it's pretty easy to neglect self care a lot of the time.

It always reminds me of the health-related things I am grateful for. Especially since I am so infrequently ill that I generally forget what illness even feels like, most of the time.

It is one of the important contrasts in life for so many other reasons, as well. A bit of understanding of how things can vary in perspective, incentive, motivation, self-awareness, patience, energy-level, desires, and so many other things.

A truly needed experience for sure.
