Cold and Sick

These last couple days I've come down with a cold, sore throat, headache, etc.
It's forced me to slow down and be kinder to myself.
Suffering humbles us and suffering teaches the fragility of life. It is through tending suffer that we learn to open our hearts again.

For all of you all who are suffering. Be kind to yourself and others.

Something that I've been forced to learn over and over again. Ignorance is deep!

    @taiyaki -- Hope you are on the mend ... or at least getting lots of sleep, eating chicken soup, etc.

    But I would add that you don't have to try to do anything ... age and disease come of their own accord and teach all of us that life ain't for sissies.

    Poor little koala. I hope you feel better. If your conditions last more than a week please go see a doctor...I am on my last day of antibiotics. It was rough.

    Just get a lot of rest. Maybe all you need is tlc from your partner.

    Drinking lots of ginger ale, ginger tea, and halls.

    Thanks for the hopes and wishes.

    It could be worse!

    Get better soon mate... cheery thought - each time you catch a cold you become immune to that particular strain - catch them all for the complete set and 1000g...ping! ;)

    @taiyaki - get well soon friend.......if coughing increases and usually it increases when going to sleep, take some cough syrup as it may soothen your throat and chest and help you to get sleep early...........for soar throat - do gargle with hot water with some salt in it keeping the salty water in your mouth for sometime, doing gargle and then throwing out the water - but have the last sip kept inside you, so that the salt effect remains slightly in your throat which also soothens the coughing when going to sleep..............

    even brandy helps in getting cold over ;) but it should be taken as a medicine.........

    Cook Ginger root until dark brown...Bourbon goes down smoother and it kicks like a mule but kills bacteria!

    Taiyaki, I think you and I live very close to each other. If you ever need a couple of fingers of bourbon, hit me up. I'd love to give you a high five :)
