Favorite Quotation

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
...Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." -Marianne Williamson

Really? Your STILL Sick?

This is the most asked question of the past couple of weeks. Here is the answer, YES, I am still sick. Currently yes it is with the same cough that I had a week to a week and a half ago when you last asked me.

I am really trying to not get annoyed with this question but it is kinda getting on my nerves. I guess what tends to bother me more is when people ask me to do something/ if I am doing something and my answer is "I just don't feel good, so I don't think so" and their next question is "Oh, how are you feeling?" did I not just answer that question? I know I listen for what I want to hear as well but sometimes it would be nice to have someone listen the first time.

Just so you are aware, if you ask me how I am feeling, I will answer how I am feeling. I no longer hide behind the answer that you want to hear,meaning the "I'm doing good", in fact I feel sorry for one of my old neighbors today who asked me at a test review how I was doing. I gave them the full real answer and they did not expect it. When what they were expecting to be a line answer turned into a half page summary it seemed like they were going to stop talking to me, but they didn't they stuck it out. (Thanks, I needed that today at least once)...

So just so you all know, yes I am still sick, my body still has not figured out what is my Thyroid and what is a germ or virus that needs to be killed. If I don't have the same cough that I have had for a few weeks it is something else. Yes I am taking medication, when I feel myself to start to get worse I take airborne until "better" symptoms appear that I can treat. I just really want to get better so I don't feel like this on the way to Cali.

In better news because of my AMAZING brother Nate who helped me study for my Econ test I was able to teach the Teacher's Aide something tonight at the test review, let us also hope that means good things for the test tomorrow.

    Awe that was nice of you. However I remember that "study" session, it consisted of me nodding my head yes as you got all the answers to the study guide questions correct. so in summary it was all you and not me.
