rude awakening
People, it snowed last night. And this morning. And now it's all white everywhere in Chi-town. And I'm getting sicker.
Whenever I have a cold, it always follows the same pattern. Can't say that for much else in my life, so I guess it's a good thing. It starts with sinus headaches, then congestion, then a sore throat and cough, then chest aches, then a stomach ache. You could say it migrates like the birds - south. I say it just sucks most of the time.
But I do not like whiners, so I shall not whine. This too shall pass.
And to pass the time, check out this quote by Washington Irving, which really moved me today:
There is in every true woman's heart a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity; but which kindles up, and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.
Cool, eh?
