THINGS YOU LEARN WHEN YOU’RE SICK….

Not sure why I’m writing this blog. I guess just too much time on my hands as I’ve been cooped up in this house all day sick as a dog. Maybe it’s meant to do something for someone. Hope we all feel better soon.

You are not HEALTHY

When you aren’t healthy you can’t expect to feel at your best, operate at your best, and do the things you would do with better health. You have to be patient, get plenty of rest, and take necessary steps towards getting healthier.

You are not IN CONTROL.

I hate being sick and I don’t make a great patient. But, eventually I get over my little tantrum and embrace the fact I’m not in control and never will be!

 You are not INVINSIBLE.

We are human, we are weak, and we are prone to break down at any time. Every time I’m sick I realize that I need to operate in my wellness as someone who could go down at any time. This means I must develop and inform those around me in case of my absence.

 You are not IRREPLACEABLE

Some people like me at times think the world can’t go on without them. Then you get sick and realize that life does go on and others can step up in your absence. This is very good to know on any occasion as we all need to realize that the weight of the world does not rest on us alone.

You are not GONNA LIVE FOREVER

This body will eventually slow down, break down, and my life will come to an end. All I can do is make the most of the moments and strength I have each day. Everything I do in this life needs to be preparation for the next.
