I'm a Survivor -Destiny's Child


This morning my alarm went off @ 5:45, I got up to go to the bathroom, as I sat there, I began to realize that my lungs felt very tight. I came to the conclusion that if I pushed myself to go to work it just might be the end of me, so I thoughtfully considered and weighed my options. I then crawled back in bed and slept until 10am! Thats a total of 12hrs I guess my body needed it.

It is hard to know what your body is telling you, for me a lot of the times I believe my attitude allows me to be more healthy, at the same time I believe my enthusiasm for life can blind me from when I just need to stop and rest for awhile. A catch 22 is what it is, but I would rather live a full life, then a dull life with a self focused attitude.

Which can also be a challenge when you have a disease, a lot of the time you are focusing on your health, from the morning I wake up to the last thing I do before bed, it is all for my health. This is all necessary for me to live a long somewhat healthy life, but at the same time that is a whole lot of focusing on myself. To much focus on any one's self is not good even if it is of benefit to you.

Like for instance, exercise, it great for your body your, well being, it is important to take care of the body God has given us, but even the Bible says that exercise profits little. Taking care of my self profits a lot, but if I am not putting God first all my hard work in the end will be futile.

To say the least, I may not have gone to work today, partially for my sanity, partially for my physical health, but thats not to say I didn't get anything done this is my, "To Do List."
