on being sick

Thursday, February 22, 2007

I'm just now feeling human again after my bout with the flu. Unfortunately, I shared it with my wife who was even sicker than I was. She is 2 months pregnant, so recovery has been a little slower, as she doesn't really feel great already.

She got out of the house today for the first time in a few days to have lunch with me. We were talking about what we had learned being sick. Both of us had the same thought - we have far too little compassion for those who are always hurting and sick. It's hard to keep a good attitude when you don't feel well - that's even knowing that you're only going to be sick for a few days.
