Here I am in bed(since Sat.)with the flu.Today I went to the doctor because my husband Chuck made me.I was tested for the HINI flu.It was negative.The docs took blood,ya know all that fun lab work.Everything came back fine.Except I had 3 liters of fluids put in my veins.I was completely dehydrated.I am sick of being sick.Has I am lifeless in my bed sipping grape Gatorade,I am thinking what it is really like to be sick.Like folks just finding out they have cancer,One of my favorite bloggers nie nie dialogues.http://nieniedialogues.blogspot.com/ Who is recovering from a near fatal plane crash who has 4 beautiful children,and loving husband taking life on step at a time.

Then I think about the people in Haiti .Who have no home,family,food,afraid, looking for hope.It humbles me.

There is a passage in the Bible Psalm 23.2 that reads he maketh me lie down in green pastures.I feel that is what God is having me do.When I whine about my body feeling like a dump truck ran over it.I think about how blessed I am.I think about Stephanie,laying in a hospital bed right now.People driving home just finding out they have cancer.Children in Haiti afraid.I pray for these and other people,and thank God for giving me a wake up call.To reach out to others who are really in need.God Bless,Carol
