Today I am grateful for my health. I'm grateful that my body can heal itself. Imagine if they didn't imagine if every cut, bruise, or scrape we had ever gotten was still on our body. We'd be a mess. Imagine if we need to be sewn up for even the smallest cuts, instead of our bodies just taking care of itself. Imagine if broken bones needed to be welded together with outside materials instead of just mending themselves back together. Imagine if our bodies had no way of fighting viruses (viri?) and bacteria and we had to take "medicine" to fight them for it (I'm talking about to fight off the everyday potential threats tha our bodies take care of without us even knowing it). Imagine if our body didn't have the (disgusting) responses to rid itself of foods eaten that shouldn't have been and a doctor had to go into our tummy and pump it out. Loved Elder Nelson's most recent conference talk. Points out some wonderful reasons for why we should be grateful for out bodies.

More specifically, I am grateful I don't have cervical cancer.
