About a week ago I came down with a nasty case of strep throat. Ga-rossss! I wasn’t surprised about my diagnosis after seeing the doc, she said my symptoms were “very impressive” this go ‘round. I didn’t know if that was a good thing or a bad thing. I get strep at least once a year around this time. I had the icky stuff three times in a row last spring. Ms. Sassy and I had just discussed how thankful we are for our health when we seem to be surrounded by people with illness. Maybe I spoke too soon, but it really got me to thinkin’ and prayin’.
I'm notorious for always jamming my schedule full of plans for every day and practically every hour of the week. Being sick for 4 days made me physically stop and take a breather. Sometimes we can get so consumed with planning the next event that we completely lose sight of what is actually happening right in front of us. I know this was God’s way of saying…slow down sista. I don’t have to be consumed by my planner and it’s healthy to take a breather every once in a while.
So, while I was illin’ I got caught up on my sleep (Lucy enjoyed all the sleeping)
Read Twilight of course, kept in touch with a few people regarding my sickness, surfed the net quite a bit
and nommed on some delicious ckicken noodle soup and chocolate-chocolate cupcakes from Ms. Sassy’s Momma (I feel like she’s my Roanoke momma since mine lives over 2 hours away)
My Lessons Learned: don’t plan so much, take care of my temple, and get better so I can keep shinin’ ;) I KNOW God wants me to be healthy.
P.S.- In the 4 days that I was down and out....EVERYTHING BLOOMED! what a beautiful thing to walk outside to and instantly lift my spirits :-D
