I'm fending off a cold with many a dietary supplement (zinc, vitamin c, orange juice, target brand airborne) and sleep. I can feel the cold trying to set up camp in my throat, glands and nasal passages. And, I'm ODing on hand-sanitizer when I think about it as to make up for the times I forget to use it. I wonder if I'm merely postponing the inevitable.
Forget our cess pool of an economy for a moment; cold and flu season is something we can rally against. Team effort. Stay home if you're sick.
I read a great Dallas Willard quotation this weekend: "Ruthlessly eliminate hurry." This quote and the other spiritual reading has given me a much-needed measure of calm and perspective. Now I need to slowly build a social life. God is good, and God is no Santa. I'm trying to be faithful in the tiny.
I had a workday today because of elections. I got a lot done. Of course, I was there ten hours with little interruption. My meeting with my mentor proved encouraging and practical.
I'm tired. I feel like I should care more about the elections than I do. I did vote. But, it's as my spiritual director's assistant said: "God's in control."
