Nasty Colds and Half-Fullism

I haven’t blogged in a few days,  because I recently came down with some kind of cold/flu that has really knocked me for a loop.

I actually had to leave work early yesterday, which I can’t recall doing in the last 15 years.

After some needed rest, I’m back in the office but still pretty far from 100%.

Of course, once my head cleared a little bit and the joint pain subsided, “the question” popped into my head:

“Hey, I’ve been taking better care of myself now than in any other time of my life . I eat well, I don’t drink, I don’t eat gluten, I don’t smoke (never did), I practice yoga 4-5 times a week -  how on earth could I have caught something like this???”

I need to be careful with that question, because if I dwell on it too long, I’d start feeling sorry for myself and all of a sudden my glass would be half-empty.

So, I need a half-full perspective - and thankfully, my dear wife is always happy to oblige me with one.

Her take - I’m actually lucky.  These bugs are really knocking people down for the count this winter.  People are in bed for days.   My healthy lifestyle is keeping me from getting much worse.

OK, I think I can buy that.

(cough, cough……)

At least for the next couple of days…….
