Well, I didn't escape the dreaded stomach bug after all. It's been a rough weekend. It's sad that it takes feeling horrible to make me fully appreciate how wonderful it is to have good health. Every time I'm sick I promise myself not to take it for granted once I'm feeling better, but I always seem to forget after a while. While sick, I would rather be doing just about anything else in the world, if only I could feel normal. But once normality returns, so does my complaining. In fact, this weekend's episode got me out of speaking in church - something that I had not been very eager to do. However, I would have rather spoken every Sunday in church for a year if it would have meant I could have avoided this misery!
