being sick

Mariah and Allison and I have all been a bit sick lately...sniffly noses, etc. In all of the times that I have been sick (practically monthly) I have finally come to appreciate it in a sick sort of way:) Being sick makes me slow down and take stock of life -- look at where I've been putting my energy and what I really should be doing. I so often tend to try to do this and that and the other thing without thinking too much about what it is I am doing. Occasionally I'll get in the habit of making a list or a schedule or praying about my daily work, but I'm not very good at it. So, being sick reminds me that my body can't do what I make it and that I need to reexamine what I do....someday I'll get better at living my days God's way, I hope....
