I'm Alive!

By -
Well actually, I am alive, but a little (no, a lot) sick. I can't remember the last time i was this sick. Actually i think it was about 10 years ago when i was living in New Hampshire. I caught some sort of flu bug and was banished to bed for over a week! My BFF Rachel was also there, cause we worked at the same Residential Crisis-Care Facility, His Mansion Ministries. Anyway, we were both sick in bed, but it was nice to have a good friend close by. Ok, so yeah I went to Urgent Care last night, and if you know me at all, that is not something I ever do. The last time i went was about 2 years ago when I had this lingering cough\lung thing. My boyfriend at the time was convinced it was pneumonia... and I was convinced he needed to stop worrying about me so much! Finally, i begrudgingly headed to the UC and they did some x-rays and sure enough... pneumonia. Eat Crow Sabrina! :)
Well I don't have pneumonia, and they ruled out strep, even though my throat is raw and painfully tender. They took blood to see my blood count and all that fun stuff... I have a lingering fever and a bad case of the flu. This flu also encompasses sore throat\congestion\bad cough\achy limbs and very out of it feeling. It's a doozy! And I was just thinking to myself last week, 'Girl you held out with all this sickness going around!' Guess i spoke too soon.
Where did i just hear that pain was a good thing? Oh yeah it was in the movie World Trade Center. One of the guys trapped in the WTC said, "Pain is good, then you know you are ALIVE."
And Alive I am.

Oh, boo-boo....
(I had that dumb bug 2 weeks ago and spend a week in bed)! I know things are tough right now, but just remember-every flower that ever bloomed had to go through a whole lot of dirt to get there! What a dumb line that was:-) Feel better soon!!!

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
