Congestion

Tonight I am sick but determined to show up for the work even though it may only be brief.

Usually, days like this get me. I spend my time lounging in self-pity and do not give thoughts to my big goals and feelings of gratitude. When I don’t feel well all I do is focus on feeling bad and when my cold or virus passes, I am left having spent days in a fog of blah.

I suppose that’s what the work is here for. I can come to the page and feel a few moments of clarity when I need it most.

The work has the power to shift my energy and call forth grace. And even when I am buried in a pile of tissues, the work can remind me where it is trying to take me.

Tonight I will lounge in gratitude because I may feel sick but it is a Saturday and I am in my home. My parents are a phone call away and all is good in my world. With my downtime, I will let my thoughts drift to my big future goals and so many feeling of happiness.

I will watch Eat, Pray, Love for the hundredth time and will spare the tears of admiration I usually shed. My sinuses are already pounding with congestion so I figure I should give them a break.
