Hunkering down.

46/365

A heavy, swelled- but also compressed-feeling head and upper respiratory system have kept me in bed all day.  I'm very good at telling my advisees when they need to slow down--when their bodies will intervene to tell them that they're attempting too much--but I'm not so good at living it out myself.  ONe thing I am good at, though, is stopping myself short the moment I sense illness coming on, and somehow I suspect that stopping and dropping have, over the years, helped to keep me from getting even more sick, when sickness arrives.  I'm hoping that another nearly ten-hours' night sleep will kick this one; waking up after nearly ten hours and still feeling knocked down was one of my signs this morning that all was not right.

You must stop, drop and roll you know. The rolling will keep a smile on your face.
