Sometimes I fall into the trap of taking things for granted...my health, for example. And when a cold knocks me on my butt (like it did the past 2 days), I can't help but think fondly of the days when my head doesn't hurt, my throat feels normal, and I can think clearly.
Maybe it's good to be sick once in awhile - it makes us remember we're not invincible.
Being sick reminds me to be grateful for the health I've been blessed with. It reminds me to take care of my body and get plenty of sleep/drink lots of water. (And maybe I should keep my distance from students...ha ha...)
That being said, it's off to bed for me. Yes it's 8 o'clock. Yes I am trying to combat this wicked cold.
I can do it...I can do it...
"I have no idea where I am going; I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself...But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing. And I know that if I do this, you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always..." -Thomas Merton
I have come to fall in love with teaching in Catholic schools. What are YOU in love with?...
