The week of affirmation

It's Friday, and I'm glad to be alive. I'm grateful for family, I am grateful for health, I appreciate my friends...it has been a week of affirmation.

I have been unwell.

I have been at this long enough to know that when the body demands rest, you give it rest otherwise you do more harm.

So reluctantly, I slowed down. The body likes being comfortable, I was and did not put it through any stress, aahhhh Njahira, now you know how to treat me, how about slowing down even more, doesn't that feel good? Don't you deserve it? You have been working so hard to build your new career, to build your body, and keep everything in balance. This feels good...

And slowly, I ground to a halt.

Laziness be gone!

But you're unwell my love, lie here, rest....you will recover.

Laziness be gone!

My body does not purge itself of illness, instead the threads that hold me together begin to unravel

Laziness be gone!

My spirit suffers. I am irritable. I am angry. I am weak.

Laziness be gone!

You cannot beat me, I am stronger than you.

And slowly I begun to get back to myself. It is more a battle of will than of body.

I wake up, coughing and spitting the spiritual fatigue out of me...

As I reactivate myself, balance begins to be restored. The fibre that is my being repairs itself.

I begin to feel whole.

This has been a week of affirmation. Had I any doubt what effect my choices had on my well being, that doubt is removed.

Be active people. Have a terrific weekend!
