Sick, Ugh!

I am sick again which means it takes WAY more energy to do the normal things of the day.  And that means I have no energy left to do anything besides the "musts" of the day.  Ugh.  It's times like this that I'm tempted to think, "Well if I'm way over here in the tropics just to lie at home and be sick, what use is that?"  And of course, we all know the answer, I need to rejoice in all things!  And I need to be faithful in the "ugh" days just as much as I need to be faithful in the "woah!  I got a lot done!" days.

It's mid-afternoon and a light rain just began.  A soft breeze is coming through our house and it's lovely.  My boys are quietly entertaining themselves.  I've just popped a huge bowl of popcorn for us as well as made a pitcher of grape Koolaid.  I actually know what I'm gonna cook for dinner so I won't be frantic come 5 O'clock.  I am resting on a comfy couch under a ceiling fan with a laptop in my lap.  So I'm a little sick, but there is so much more good around me, it's hard to be too upset!
