WEEKENDING

The more serious the illness,
the more important it is for
 you to fight back, mobilizing
all your resources-spiritual,
 emotional, intellectual, physical.

~Norman Cousins


weekending, my favorite part of the week. a time to relax, live, love, just to be. if you'd like to share your weekend either with words, photographs, or both, leave a link to a weekend post in the comments. Joining with Amanda for her weekending post.
Saturday was fine
a lovely day spent
in Charleston doing
a wee bit of shopping,
but by nightfall things
began to fall apart.
It started with just a 
little sniffle, then a strange
croupy sound in my
lungs and a prayer that
I am not getting pneumonia.
Today has seen a fever,
grapefruit seed extract,
elderberry drinks, pomegranate
seeds , hot tea with lemon
and a lot of naps.
I'm sick.

    Tracey wishing you well. I too, am quite unwell at the moment. Whatever I have come down with has gone straight to my lungs too. I have been taking olive leaf extract. There is too much to do this time of year to be sick! Stay warm and I hope you are being well looked after. Jacinta xx

    I'm sorry. Unfortunately 'tis the season'. Thankfully, you seem to know what to do! I'm praying that it's nothing more than the simple creeping crud that's going around...

    Take care, Debbie

    Oh dear Tracey, I hope you are on the upswing by now! So not fun and these things never come at a good time do they. So inconsiderate these viruses, don't they know it's a busy month!!! I hope you have had lots of soup, lots of tea, lots of love, and lots of knitting. Miss "seeing" your sweet you around the blogosphere!
    xoxo
