flat on my back

sometimes my best days, my best accomplishments occur when i'm flat on my back.  tired.  exhausted. sick.  yep.  woke up at 330 this morning with a tummy full of trouble, a head busting and a body shaking.  i've been in bed most of the day.  sleeping.  dozing.  wishing for some soup.  too sick to want to stand up and make it.  i ate some ice cream for my throat.  haven't taken any tylenol. just mostly waiting it out.  reading.  sleeping.  watching.  coughing.  hurting.  and yet.  i've learned something along the way that has changed me.  growth comes on good days, but more growth comes on hard days. and letting myself embrace how it is and resting without fretting is a great option.
yesterday was a fabulous day. a much needed heart filling day. but today is hard.  and it kicks me sometimes when i realize how alone i am when i'm sick.
but....i have time to rest.  and that's good enough.  i'll just enjoy the growing.  the peace.  i'll just rest.  again. :)
blessings.
