We were supposed to be up and about today, heading down to Colorado Springs to have Sunday dinner with Toben's family. But I woke up at 11:03 last night out of a dead sleep, feeling absolutely sick to my stomach and way too hot.
I'm still feeling off today and have spent the whole day in bed, napping and reading, apart from a nice long bath. Toben made me some chicken soup and it's sitting okay so far... There's nothing on the calendar tomorrow, so I'm going to take it easy again and just rest.
I struggle when I'm sick like this. I know that rest is so important--and it's something I do in smaller doses on a regular basis, but staying in bed all day like this makes me feel a little bit guilty and lazy. Part of me thinks that if I'd just make up my mind about it I'd be fine. Ridiculous, I know!
Thought I'd share some inspiring quotes I came across recently. Enjoy!
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined. (Thoreau)
Order is a lovely thinhg, on disarray it lays its wing, teaching simplicity to sing. (Anna Branch)
Home, the spot of earth supremely blest, a dearer, sweeter spot than all the rest. (Robert Montgomery)
There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort. (Jane Austen)
Teach us delight in simple things. (Rudyard Kipling)
Very little is needed to make a happy life. (Marcus Aurelius Antoninus)
Every season brings its own joy. (Spanish proverb)
Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss going too fast--you also miss the sense of where you are going and why. (Eddie Cantor)
Get well soon Joanne!
