My battle and fresh new start

I can't believe how long it's been since I last posted. In late February of this year I came down with a very bad flu. Usually, the flu doesn't keep me down. I still go about my daily To Do's even if I'm sick. This time, however, it was different. It was a type of flu that hit my immune system hard. I was so sick and feeling so miserable for days. It was horrible! The flu just wouldn't leave me alone and as the days progressed my health went downhill. It got so bad that it was hard to eat for days to the point where i wasn't really taking in any liquids anymore. I wasn't feeling thirsty. I knew I was very sick and finally was taken to the hospital. There I was treated for dehydration. Once some liquid was put into my body, I started feeling better. They gave me prescriptions for meds and I went home.

After my battle with that flu it took me a couple of more weeks to fully recuperate and during this time I had to put everything aside. Time seemed to go by at lightning speed and before I knew it, I was so behind in everything. How could I have waited so long to get back on track? I was definitely frustrated and disappointed in myself. Those feelings lingered for quite some time until I finally realized that I wasn't getting anywhere like that. I picked myself up and pushed myself to begin.

I saw a very good quote today. It read: "The only people who fail, are the ones who quit"
