Sick! This week that word described me...I had some kind of cold that even affected my breathing. At night I would cough and gag. After plenty of self-medicating I went to the Walgreens Clinic and saw a Physician’s Assistant. She was great, listening to my symptoms and history and then prescribing some kind of steroid medication to help my breathing and recovery.

During this time of sickness I have realized that good health is not something to be taken for granted. The time of being low on energy made me realize at least the following things:

-I need to exercise regularly to avoid getting into this bad shape again.
-I need to eat healthier for the same reason.
-I need to appreciate the opportunity to teach God's Word each week-when it's hard to talk and breathing is not as easy normal, it is not a simple thing to preach (nor is it easy when you are not sick)
-I need to appreciate and treat everyone around me better realizing that they are as fragile most times as I am when sick.
-I need to thank God for each day of healthy living!
-I need to quit stressing out about things I cannot control.
-I need to take vitamins, not just vitamin C!
