being sick.

I don’t get sick very often, usually once maybe twice a year. When I do get sick everything slows down, I slow down, my world slows down and my thoughts slow down. Seems that everything I would normally do on any given day takes so much energy that I have no choice but slow down.

Although being sick sucks, it does allow you to do things that your busy life normally doesn’t allow. On the top of that list for me is; reading, I rarely get to read and when I do it seems like I hurry through it just like everything else in life, I don’t have time to sit and think about what I’ve read. I am able to write notes in the margin and even talk to people about what I’ve read. Also being sick allows me to talk to people online that I normally don’t get to have a “real” conversation with (well as real as IMing gets).

The last few days besides reading and IMing, I’ve had time to do some design work (which I love), watch a ton of TV and encourage and listen to people I normal just say a quick hello to.

Not saying I like being sick, I actually hate it and am not very good at being sick….I am actually quite a baby when it comes to being sick. Yes, I will admit it…

The above is the silver lining of being sick.
