Gratituesday 3.20.18 - I Get Knocked Down, but I Get Up Again!
About a week and a half ago I thought to myself that I managed to get through an entire winter without getting sick. I attributed it to using my neti pot daily, washing my hands regularly, eating well and practicing yoga. Then last Sunday I got a stomach bug and I started sneezing on Tuesday. At my Writer's Group I definitely said, "This is not going to be good," after a good round of sneezes. And indeed it was not. It got progressively worse until I just could not get out of bed and had laryngitis. Thankfully my cat, Maximillian was super cuddly and provided some extra warmth when I was shivering.
But like that Chumbawumba song, I get knocked down, but I get up again! Just over a week later, I'm still coughing and am a little tired. However, I'm definitely through the thick of it. Oh, and I have that sexy Demi Moore voice and think I lost 5 pounds. Look at the upside! Here are my Weekly Lists. Join me, won'tcha?
