The Power of the Body

Just the other day I had the stomach flu. Warning, if you are squeemish---but what I am amazed at is the sheer power of the body to expel what it doesn't need and with such force. Like my body saying hey, you get out of here. As if my stomach was a bouncer and the virus the guy who started a bar fight. What a miracle the body. Something else that resonated while being sick was how much I didn't fight it. Being sick used to make me feel depressed and guilty that I wasn't doing anything and my being sick was holding up other people who needed me to do something for them. This time, no bad self talk and no pity party. Only puke and sleep and within 24 hours I was back to being much more myself.
