For the past few weeks, I have been fighting off a sickness... coughing, aching joints, sore throat, runny/stuffy nose, etc etc etc. And, some things I have learned through this time are:
~ Don't complain about going to work. It's a blessing to work, and working really isn't so bad, especially if you aren't working while you are sick!
~ Be thankful for each breath you take. A few times I had difficulty breathing, and it was really scary. It just made me realize how important each breath is and made me thankful that God sustains us each moment.
~ Trust in God, and lean not on your own understanding. I struggle with this a lot anyway --- I want to be in control of my destiny, but it becomes apparent that God is in control of every breath we take, every beat of our heart, and even waking up in the morning.
~ Laughing is really hard, when you don't have very good lung function :)
~ I have the sweetest husband in the world. He is so loving and caring, and even though he doesn't show it any more when I'm sick, I tend to believe that's because he already shows it so much the rest of the time, that he can't top it, rather than he has no sympathy. Nah, just kidding. He really is the sweetest... and I'm so blessed to have him.
~ Don't take your health for granted. Good health is a blessing and it should be noticed and appreciated every day!
