Flu got you down ... I'm with ya ...

I am sitting here in my bed ...

It's been a crazy busy few weeks ... the Christmas prep, the ski equipment roundup, the trip to Colorado...

Friday I was all set to get back to accomplishing my daily goals, work on marketing my book, my business, and of course have some normalcy again.  I wish I could tell you that because I eat very carefully, take umpteen immunity boosters and carry around anti-bacterial hand gel in the airport to be slathered all over my family that I wouldn't get sick.  Oh yeah, I'm down with the flu.

I really don't do doctor visits ... I try to heal myself without drugs.  However I knew something was up with this one when I had a houseful of kids over and I hid in my room!

Anyway, the only reason I'm writing (I mean I really am sick ... not trying to get out of kid rearing homework projects, runs to Michaels - local peeps ... you know that science t-shirt project? and the historical marker project?  My husband has seriously got more patience than I do by far!)  is because
a) I'm bored out of my mind ... with horrible aches and pains
b) I did get a new MacBook and I trying to experiment and
c) not for nothing, but have you ever noticed the minute you finally slow down your pace, sometimes your body thinks it's ok to get sick?  

Those of you who know me are about to roll your eyes at me ...

I think it's a signal that we have to listen to our bodies and stop when we need to stop.
Yes ... I also believe that someone sneezed on me or coughed in the plane too .... (eeew!!)  but my immunity was compromised from weeks of non-stop doing.

Someday I'll learn!

Wishing you all a happy and healthy 2013!

Here is my favorite pic of our trip ... my family doing the ski thing together!  No matter how cold it was, we were still together which in itself a simple and happy place!

Welcome to my Blog!

Thanks for visiting my blog ... I decided to write it as there were many concerned friends and family that needed to learn about this phase of my life - leading up to surgery on February 8th. I have now had the surgery and am recovering here at home. I love all your comments! They make me smile and I am so truly inspired by them! I can not believe how much support there is out there...it matters so much to us! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
