Now a debilitating, sit in bed with a good book and glass of water,
just hope that the day passes kind of sick. But a casual, you feel
almost good enough to go out, and then you do, and you feel worse the
next day. A low level attack that keeps on ticking. And while I have
to make sure I do sensible things like drink plenty of fluids and get
to sleep at a decent hour, there's one other thing that I need to do
to ensure my health.
Get connected.
The worst part about sickness is not the ailment itself - it's the
fact that I can no longer go around and see people, be connected and
contributing to my community. Even though I'm in a place where I get
a of of community coming to me, I still need to be able to seek it out
- from something as simple as waving to my neighbor walking her cat to
something as complex as leading a team towards a common goal at work.
Even though my body says "hold it!" my mind is sharp as ever, and
craves the community - people to interact with, important things to
get done.
