Sick Days
It was a day spent in acute discomfort. I have an infection, and the body was on high alert as it fought the alien bacteria cells in the body.
My body was feverish, I felt pain, and my blood pressure shot up as I struggled to concentrate at work. It's hard to do.
I felt like I was swimming in cloudy water. I was trying to see clearly, but everything was opaque and slightly out of focus.
Transition time often produces similar feelings. As I search for new meanings, or look for new paths, I am sometimes filled with a discomfort that I can't shake. I worry over it, trying to figure it out , as all of my energy is directed towards that problem.
As I feel my anxiety levels rise, I feel my heart quickening as my body responds to the stress.
I have to remind myself to take calming breaths, to let the problem go, to let nature take its course. When we are ill, we allow our bodies to fight off the intruder.
In times of inner turmoil, we need to calm down, and let time heal those wounds.

Annette, Doesn't is seem that when our system is compromised with illness, that our worry kicks into overdrive? I've noticed this...such an uncomfortable feeling, yet when it passes, I feel so much better.
Hope you cycle out of it soon...or I suppose, rather, when you/you're body are ready.

Ron,
Ommmm worked until the pain had me climbing the walls. All zen-like calm was abandoned and strong drugs were demanded!
All is well today, though.

Rebbecca,
Yes indeed! I found myself struggling to stay focused on any task at work.
This morning was rough, but by afternoon was feeling stronger and on the road to recovery!
Thanks for stopping by,
