Hello, friends! Happy Sunday and happy Easter(:

I hope you are all staying well in every way and had a great start to the day. I hope your coffee was up to par this morning and that the sun is shining wherever you are!

I’ve been down and out these past few days, began as a head cold that has deteriorated into making me believe it may be a severe cold or perhaps the worst. Either way, I’m progressively nursing myself back to health, all thanks to chicken soup and vitamin water!

As any other time of impoverished spontaneity, I was far less than unprepared — I hadn’t held any answer to subside my symptoms. As improv would have it, I have found a secret to healing a tender throat overnight: gargling mouthwash, followed by a spoonful of lemon and honey.

The current state of my health feels as it did when the deterioration first began its takeover— as if my head remains in the clouds, but the clouds are filled of rain.

I was filling out a form earlier, a rather important one, and had to take a moment to debate on the word I was attempting to use…is it observed or reserved? And curse those who created homonyms, and cursed be those foggy-minded and muddled.

Just a reminder to all that it’s okay to take a break. It’s okay to have days where you only give 1%, even if that 1% is merely drinking a glass of water or sleeping all day to recharge. It’s not only okay, but is necessary in times of need. Listen to your body; whatever you may feel as if must be done today will still be there tomorrow, and it can wait.

To truly be able to give our all, we must learn when to rest.

Whatever you do today, just know that every step, even the smallest, is still progress and should be celebrated as any other!

Talk soon, friends ❤
