Resting Comfortably
Today my best friends are my pillow, my teacup, and Mucinex-D (the elixir of cold comfort). Just like everybody else, I hate being sick. I hate the misery of congestion, coughing, and sniffling. I hate missing my Sunday morning run with my friends, missing a kid’s soccer game, and not making any progress against my “to do” list. However, all of those things are transient and insignificant in the long view.
I know without adequate rest, I will only get sicker. I have tested the “not slow down” strategy more than once and know unequivocally that it’s a loser. My two-year-old memory of walking pneumonia is still vivid! I am grateful that I have a family that will cover for me and allow me to rest. Today I am resting comfortably.
This blog chronicles long view thinking in all aspects of life, but with special interest in technology and business.
