Forced to rest =(
Forced to rest =(
Ouch! My terrible muscle ache and dry throat which finally developed into a slight fever today ... I actually had the symptoms few weeks ago but it only decided to manifest itself today =( Was I too complacent, thinking that since it was about 2 weeks ago these symptoms appeared and I was still fine even after mingling with some sickly people, I should be fine after all? Sigh* ... pride ... thinking that I'm super woman and "forcing" myself to go beyond what my body can manage =(
Nonetheless, on the flip side, being forced to rest gives me insights and reminder to some realistic lessons I should learn:-
1. The world still revolves even if I'm resting
2. I'm not indispensable - somehow someone will be able to cover your scope of work for you
3. When God reveals some symptoms that you need to note, take heed, otherwise He really have to "force" you to stop doing and go rest
4. Nobody's going to take care of you if you don't take care of yourself - mum had been boiling all the "liang teh" for me the past 2 weeks and I've been drinking lots of them, but still ...
5. Sleep may seemed to be the most "futile" thing, especially when you have deadlines and many jobs to complete - but if you need to sleep in order for the body to rest, YOU JUST HAVE TO SLEEP!
I think many times, we are just people who worry too much - or to put it in other ways, we are just people who are "proud", thinking too highly of ourselves, that if we collapse, things will crumble and fall ... Pride of life!
OK, I've learnt it - I'm going to sleep the day away if my body says so =) Will have to see doc later so better learn to behave before someone else reprimand me again =p
