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.

  2. Just proves when you've got your health, you've got everything. Otherwise, it's the single most important thing on your mind. Good one.
