Oh my goodness, I've been sick, and I mean SICK, since Friday (it's now Monday!). I've been laying in bed, not doing much all weekend and I'm still not feeling that much better. People (well intentioned people) keep telling me that I need to go to the doctor - especially because I'm pregnant... But, honestly, what is a doctor going to do for me? He may guess that I have a head cold, or a bad sinus infection, may tell me to take some Tylenol and maybe some anticongestion pill. And I know that these may surpress the symptoms I'm feeling but they won't really 'cure' me, or take care of the problem.
I've told Heavenly Father that I'm actually thankful that I'm feeling lousy because it helps mee have a grateful heart for when my body feels perfectly fine. However, 4 days!!!!??? Seriously? 4 days sick?
On Facebook a friend posted a cool video about how there's something good in adversity. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=X9ekYemnLik
So, watching this made me ask myself (and my Father) why am I going through this? Meaning, what do I need to learn? And the thought that came t my mind was: "you are what you eat". I've been eating some junk, so now I feel like junk.
I'm thinking, if I want to feel 5 stars, I better eat like 5 stars = eat well, lots of fruits, vegetables, mostly raw, and some cooked grains. And then I feel like asking: "Is there no other way?"
I know of someone else who asked that question... and the answer was: "there is no other way".
Ahhhrrr...
I want to feel good and healthy and energetic BUT still eat chocolate mousse, cheese cake, spagethi, eggs, white bread sandwich with good quality cheese and butter, etc.
There are so many different sources and different ideas on what is good and what is not. Some say eggs are awesome for you, some say they produce mucus in your body, there are so many phylosopies....
My family is here (kids and husband) so I'll have to finish writing my thoughts later...
