The fever is gone and I've gotten plenty of sleep. I'm still really worn out. The cough is deep and yucky, but not as frequent. The box of tissues is running low (we bought more today). But. Yes, there's a but. I am feeling better. Taking the time to rest and take it easy is really important when recovering from being sick. I had a cold earlier this month, but never really took the time to fully recover. It isn't shocking that I got so sick again so quickly.
I don't want to end up sick again anytime soon, so I'm doing what I need to do to really get healthy.
All of this rest time has given me time to think about the best ways to recover. The most important thing is to think positively. I need to focus on the good. Sure, getting sick sucks, but it also has forced me to take a break from my busy life. It is not easy to slow down when you have a lot going on. My body forced me to, and that was a good thing. When my body slowed down, my mind was given the opportunity to slow down. I'm starting to feel rested. I'm actually ready to get back to work tomorrow.
One of the things I like to do when I need a mental break from life is to read inspirational and motivational quotations. Here is a list of some of my favorites:
How do you take a break from life? You should come up with ways to relax and de-stress before you need to. That way, you will have a plan already in place when you need rest time.

So sorry to hear you've been really sick, but by the sound of it you're feeling better? We all miss you in the team. Come stop by and just say hi and you're ok if you can.
