Whispers, warmth, and the things that could make life glow. |
| There are moments when life presses pause whether we are ready or not. My last blog post went up the very day I came down with the flu. I had no idea at the time that I was about to step into one of the roughest weeks I have had in a long while. This was not a mild inconvenience. It was the kind of flu that humbles you quickly and reminds you that strength sometimes looks like simply resting and letting your body fight. I am on the mend now, and for that I am deeply grateful. I am still on medication and home from the hospital. For now, I have been instructed to limit my time on the computer to only a couple of hours a day until my doctor clears me to return to normal activity. That has been an adjustment for someone who usually lives quite comfortably in words and ideas. The medication makes concentrating difficult, so I am not writing much at all. Not even blogs. That part has been surprisingly hard. Writing is such a steady companion for me, and stepping away, even temporarily, feels strange. But healing asks for patience, and I am learning to listen. I am much better than I was, and that is what matters most. If I can gently encourage you in anything today, it would be this: protect yourself. Be mindful of exposure. Take precautions. This particular strain was not helped by the flu shot in my case, and it hit hard. So wash your hands, rest when you need to, and do not ignore early symptoms. Health is easy to take for granted until it demands your full attention. For now, I am here, mostly answering email and moving slowly. I appreciate your patience and your kindness more than you know. Stay well. Kind wishes, Tee |
