I'm sick today.
Yesterday I tried to pretend I wasn't ill. Don't ask me why I sometimes think if I just pretend hard enough, whatever is wrong will just disappear! Unfortunately, denial is a futile endeavor. No amount of pretending is going to make this sore throat go away....
Is there anything worse than a summer cold? (This is a rhetorical question...of course I know there are things which are a thousand times worse!)
The one good thing I will say about having a cold, is that it slows you down.
Sometimes I get to spinning so wildly out of control in my daily life, that it takes something like a cold to slap me into stillness.
There's much to be said for stillness. I myself have been frightened by it of late. I'm hearing too many quiet whisperings inside myself when I'm still. Whisperings that are demanding life changes I'm not prepared to make.
So, I'm doing to the whisperings what I did with the cold. I'm pretending they aren't there. Eventually, as with the cold, the day will come when I shall no longer be able to pretend, or ignore or deny.
Stay tuned...perhaps when that day comes, I'll share the whisperings with you!
