I have lots of experience around sickly, heroic people. People who rise above their challenges and accomplish amazing things while presented with ill health or tough life circumstances. While I was laying around this past weekend, I watched the program Temple Grandin, a semi-documentary movie of Temple Grandin on HBO. It truly is amazing what people can accomplish when so many odds are stacked against them.
I'm not those people.
I get a head cold and it serves as an excuse for an extremely self-centered me to focus more on me - How am I feeling? Am I going to die? Can I get something out of this? Can I disappear and nobody notice? Am I going to live?
Way to much of me for me.
The good news is that I feel better today.
The even better news is that, so far, I've thought about at least 2-3 people besides myself today.
God is good.
...and AA works.

Ugh..I don't like colds. I just want to isolate and eat soup. Glad that you are rallying.
Yes, any illness brings out the Poor Little Old Me's in me. I can obsess endlessly.
Thinking about two or three others sounds like you are back in the land of the living. Well done.
"Can I get something out of this?"
LOLOLOLOL
Thanks for the post.
I always look at colds, although I don't care for them, as a time when I can be self-centered and want to take care of just me.
Of course I am realistic and know the world is not ending...but what is wrong with some wonderful Self-care? :)
Glad that you're on the mend, thank goodness I haven't had one for awhile, I make it my business to drug up when I get them.
Glad you are feeling better.
AA does work - even when we have a cold!
You can think about me anytime!
Honest you are! Glad you are feeling better.
Rest and take plenty of liquids. Hope you're well enough to blog soon.
I sure miss you :(
2-3 folks other than yourself while sick?? that's pretty impressive Ed! I do hope you're feeling better soon sir!
