Theme Thursday - Health

This is a meme hosted by Kavyen @ Reading Between Pages  “Theme Thursdays” will be open from one Thursday to the next and anyone can post it. The rules are simple:

* A theme will be posted each week (on Thursdays)
* Select a conversation/snippet/sentence from the current book you are reading
* Post it and don’t forget to mention the author and the title of the book
* It is important that the theme is conveyed in the sentence (you don’t necessarily need to have the word)
* Since we may take a few days to finish a book, this event is open for one whole week

This will give us a wonderful opportunity to explore and understand different writing styles and descriptive approaches adopted by authors.

This weeks theme is - 

HEALTH (Health / Wellbeing / Illness / Disease/ etc )

" The sickness had started in May. It came stealthily at first, creeping up on me. Strange aches occurred, odd pains. At first I ignored them, convinced they were nothing, but as they grew stronger, I worried. Each night I fell asleep hoping that the dragging in my stomach would be gone when I woke. Soon it was the first thing I noticed each day."

The opening paragraph of Days of Grace by Catherine Hall.
