In a Zone

For the past couple of days I have been so sick from the flu, I am grateful that I can say I am recovered. The flu has kept me down from attending classes and work. I guess I can say I was in a zone. If its one time of the year I am guaranteed to be sick is at a time like this.

It may start with not dressing appropriate for the weather. The main trigger is when others have the flu and are not appropriately caring for their colds. They do not cover their mouth when they cough. A sneeze is splashed across the room. Everyone becomes exposed. What did it for me was sharing a computer with the sick individual. I was already weakened by not being prepared for the change in the weather, and not dressing appropriately.

I am just glad that even though I still have a cough, I have recovered and will be able attend to my daily activities. I am definitely not looking forward to getting sick again. I can breath again, I can smile, I have a voice, and I can stand strong and stay aware. I am no longer in a zone.
