I've been so sick lately. I've literally not been this sick in years. It's a Summer flu thing and I've got it. Bad. I haven't practiced asana in almost 10 days now and all I've been able to do is gentle pranayama. Needless to say, I'm jonesing. Exhausted is my name.
At the urging of a friend I dragged - yes, dragged - myself to the beach tonight.
Him: Go to the beach. You love the beach and it will make you feel better.
Me: I feel like death. I'm not going. No way. Too hot. Too tired.
Him: Just go.
Me: Ok.
Long story short, I feel so much better. Sometimes we have to trust the people that we love enough to let into our lives tell us what is best for us. He knew that the sun, breeze, and energy of the salt water would be good for me. He was right. It's important to take care of ourselves, because unless we are happy, healthy, and whole we cannot be there for our loved ones to take care of them when they need it. ~ J
