I am so busy with family obligations these days that when I am sick and can’t do anything it feels like a total luxury... U til I feel a bit better... Then I have to catch up on all the chores I didn’t do yet... Luckily my two kids are getting older and they can relatively help a lot now... It’s been such a long time since I was sick... November actually!
I love how you reminisce Ella - to return to that vulnerable state when you were a child and ill - all the little rituals a parent might do to comfort
And that long languorous time of having no expectations other than rest and heal . ( and having permission not to go to school!) It made me recall having simple foods such as tomato soup served to me and a cold cloth on my head. I believe as an adult I don’t often give myself that time for my mind to meander without having an agenda for the day . Being ill is no fun - but it’s interesting to consider what it offers as well . I’m wishing that you may Heal quickly !
I hope you're feeling better now. I really appreciate how you shared your experience and described the way you felt. When I'm ill, it's often difficult for me to put those feelings into words, and once I start feeling better, I tend to forget about them quickly because there's so much to catch up on.
