Precisely. Such as when I get really sick. I feel horrible. Then the day arrives when I realize I feel so much better. It makes me appreciate my good health more which I don't think would happen if I always felt well. Being able to do simple tasks that were horrendous to do when sick is now such a joy for me to do--such as cleaning house (I hate to clean my house). The bad times make me appreciate the good times even more is my experience.
