Under the Weather, as it were

Nostrabobus is under the weather – somewhere.

In light of this fact, he felt it necessary to write, walk – but has yet to play catch with someone – or roll a ball in their direction!

On the bright side: He’s lost 7 pounds in three days.

On the dark side: He’s lost 7 pounds in three days.

What does this have to do with communication?

Let’s see if we can turn this around . . . In an effort to stave off the rigors of E coli he did all that he could do to communicate with his body. He weathered two days of fever with other symptoms. He drank what ever he could to maintain body fluids – and it still wasn’t enough. He immediately went to the doctor’s office where pretty nurses poked and prodded and danced with him.

The point is – we are human – half animal/half spirit. A powerful being. It was very tempting during those first few hours and nights to blame his situation on things none physical – schooling, the wife, the dog that barks incessantly outside. He avoided making decisions that would cost him in the future. Cut a class, get rid of the wife, . . . well – you get the picture. Instead, he focused on the body – the true source of the problem and tried to figure it all out.
