yesterday and today are the first days that finally feel like fall.
ironically, i'm stuck indoors;
still, sick as can be.
which, got me thinking that maybe this sickness came as a punishment.
due to my constant complaints of it being too hot,
still feeling like summer,
not being able to wear fall clothes....
i've concluded, that when fall finally decided to make an appearance,
it reprimanded me for doubting that it was indeed really coming.
punishment? a nasty cold.
however, after being glued to my bed all day yesterday,
{literally, i did not move for hours straight}
lovebird decided i needed to step outside and get a breath of fresh air.
so, that i did.
we took a little walk around our complex,
and when i turned the first corner i was greeted by a lovely sight.
it took my breath away.
suddenly i realized how easy it is to take the things right in front of you for granted.
it's funny how being sick gets you thinking about these sorts of things.
being healthy, breathing fresh air,
being able to dance, having strength,
kissing lovebird, enjoying a good night's sleep,
having a busy day and tasting food.
all of these every day tasks i suddenly haven't been able to do for the last couple days,
as really made me appreciate them and their important role in my life.
not to get all cheesy on you or anything-
just stating my love for a healthy life and recognizing how lucky i am to have one.
and even though i've been stuck indoors....
i plan on enjoying every minute of this fall weather that just arrived
the second i feel healthy and like myself again.
two lessons learned:
1. never complain, or you'll get sick.
2. don't take the little things in life for granted.
