What a cold can do.

Coming down with a cold can be just the thing to awaken the senses. Along with the sinus headache, all-around-aches, conjestion, etc can come a sensitivity that nothing else could afford.

Today, I found myself under the weather. Leaving both jobs early, under the direction of both bosses to REST-- the second of the two advising to sit in the sun and get Vitamin D; sweating it out.

I did both.

What a cold can do...
- Remind you of your insecurities and vulnerable emotions.
- Awaken dreams and desires for the present and future.
- Open your eyes to the beauty of nature surrounding. The sunset. The Full Moon rising. The foam pounding the sand at the beach.
- Provide moments for laughter and comedy in the stead of tasks and work.
- Force your body to inactivity and your mind to thoughtfulness.
- Demand that you sleep, sleep, and sleep even when you didn't know such sleep could be possible (in duration and depth).
- Inspire loved ones (and even unexpected loving ones-- like bosses and coworkers) to care and to be caring.

It's truly amazing, isn't it, what a cold can do?!
