Fingers crossed

I am so tired of being sick. Without a doubt I agree 100% that my Mom was right when she said that we have swine flu. Seriously! It's been since Tuesday now. I wake up each day thinking I'm better only to be under the spell of lethargic. My cough is still lingering. But, other then that I seem to be perfectly normal.

When will it end!? I just want to get better!! I just want to be normal again!! Come on homeostasis!! Where's that negative feedback system when ya need it!?

Oh the joys of having a big family when EVERYONE'S sick!

Here's to cough drops, cough syrup (..oh the horror!), and universe juice (long story on that one),

~Lissie

Ps. The universe juice is this like immune system boosting stuff. It's "all natural". BLECK. It taste like every plant on the universe has been boiled together in one big pot to make that black juice..ew. It's gross. Which is why I named it "universe juice". Guess it wasn't as long of a story as I made it out to be! *sighs* I REALLY AM LOVING LIFE RIGHT NOW!! Ok. No. I'm not. I'm miserable. I've given up "looking at the bright side". I WANNA GET BETTER! NOT GET BLIND! (corny moment)

Ps.s. I have my fingers crossed that I'll be better--SOMEDAY!

Quotes

C. S. Lewis:

1~"Mercy, detached from justice, becomes unmerciful."

2~"The trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed. "

3~"Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done..."

4~"All that we call human history--money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery--[is] the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy. "

5~"Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point."

Chesterton:

1~"Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of a readiness to die. “He that will lose his life, the same shall save it,” is not a piece of mysticism for saints and heroes. It is a piece of everyday advice for sailors or mountaineers. It might be printed in an Alpine guide or a drill book. This paradox is the whole principle of courage; even of quite earthly or quite brutal courage. A man cut off by the sea may save his life if he will risk it on the precipice.

He can only get away from death by continually stepping within an inch of it. A soldier surrounded by enemies, if he is to cut his way out, needs to combine a strong desire for living with a strange carelessness about dying. He must not merely cling to life, for then he will be a coward, and will not escape. He must not merely wait for death, for then he will be a suicide, and will not escape. He must seek his life in a spirit of furious indifference to it; he must desire life like water and yet drink death like wine."

"What embitters the world is not excess of criticism, but an absence of self-criticism."

"The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried"

Charles Spurgeon:

1~"Thus there will be three effects of nearness to Jesus-humility, happiness, and holiness. May God give them to thee, Christian!"

The Avett Brothers (A Band):

1~"So you want to be in love like the movies
But in the movies they're not in love at all
And with a twinkle in their eyes
They're just saying their lines
So we can't be in love like the movies

Now in the movies they make it look so perfect
And in the background they're always playing the right song
And in the ending there's always a resolution
But real life is more than just two hours long

Well you can freeze frame any moment from a movie
Or run the whole damn thing backwards from reel to reel
But I don't see one single solitary light technician
Or one single camera in this moonlit field"
