Weekend Quote: Getting Better
I so want to whine and cry on your shoulder right now. I’m sitting hear bundled up in the husbands sweats with a blanket on my shoulders and one of the kid’s winter hats on. I’ve been battling a cough for quite a few days and then last night… BAM… it hit me like a ton of bricks. Fever, chills, congestion, muscle aches, the works.
The husband took me to the doctors this morning and it seems I have bronchitis. Lovely. Just what I needed on my long weekend off with my parents in town.
ugh.
But even though I could be totally miserable right now I’m TRYING to stay positive. Earlier I camped out on the living room floor and played shoots and ladders with the family, I enjoyed the homemade turkey and orzo soup mom made from the Thanksgiving leftovers and now we are up watching cheesy horror movies with a warm cup of tea.
When people asked, I used to tell them how sick I was. The more I talked about being sick, the worse I got. Finally, I started saying, "I’m getting better." It took a while, but then I started to feel better, too.
I found that quote in The Book of Positive Quotations
On a side note… My healthy Thanksgiving was a success! I got most of the family out to the turkey trot. We hooked up the Wii fit and had a blast (especially laughing at my piss poor balance). And dinner was FABULOUS! I can’t believe I pulled it off! :)
Hope you all had a wonderful holiday. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

So sorry that you have bronchitis but glad you are feeling better. Having family around makes being sick less miserable.
hope you feel better soon Roni!
Hope you’re feeling better soon! I know what you’re going through i had bronchitis every Christmas for 6 years :(
Oh that’s a shame, well I hope you feel better soon x x
Get well soon! Glad you had such a great Thanksgiving!
Synchronicity in action.
My Sunday morning surf led me to your blog for the first time!
Thank you for providing the directions for first time visit. I read the recommended series on Core Eating. Ironically, my daughter gave me the same quote book yesterday.
I will be coming back for more. Feel Better!
Glad you had a Healthy (and Happy) Thanksgiving!
Feel better soon, Roni!
Hey Ronnie, sorry to hear you are sick. I too got sick – hit me on Friday. Drinking lots of tea w/ honey and I’m wrapped in a blanket on my couch watching tv. :-) Hope you feel better soon, and glad to hear you had a nice Thanksgiving.
Sorry your sick! Would love to see a chicken soup recipe if you happen to make some :) Turkey soup would be pretty awesome too…
I am glad you had a Happy Thanksgiving and I hope you feel better soon.
Sorry your not feeling well, but at least you have “Your Mommy” there to help take care of you and the family. I know when I’m sick and my Mom stops by, it always makes me feel a bit better! Feel beeter soon!!
Your positive attitude is the “spoonful of sugar!” Feel better and don’t push it!
Roni,I hope you get well soon.
Hope you’re feeling better soon! Way to maintain a positive attitude even when you’re sick :)
I’m brand new to your site, but am enjoying it very much. Very inspiring, lots of great tips! I’m just beginning my WW journey, taking one step at a time, but with a big goal at the finish line!
Take care!!
Jeeze…. feel better!!!!!!!
I remember when I was little and my mom had the same mantra. She kept telling me that whatever my mind thinks or believes, the body will also think or believe. I didn’t think much about her advice until I got older. I should’ve took it to heart!
Hope you feel better now!
