Grateful to be Sick

We have a few people working for us who immigrated to Canada within the past few years. A couple of these people are the happiest people I have ever met. 2 of them are always smiling and singing and I've never heard them complain about anything, not even once. I learned that the 2 of them are both from Burma. One of them was taken from his family and forced to become a child soldier. The other one can't sleep in a bed because when he was escaping his country, he slept on the jungle floor, so to this day he sleeps on the floor where he lives. Both of them are happy to just not be being shot at on a daily bases. Some of these people's stories are incredible and so very humbling. So, yes I am thankful to just be sick, comfortable on my couch, in Canada.
